Not enough memory?

Hello,

I am extremely new to Power Bi, so i dont kquite know all the lingo and correct terms for everything but when I try to refresh i am getting the error code : Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'There's not enough memory to complete this operation. Please try again later when there may be more memory available.

 

PLEASE HELP!

I have updated to the newest version. The file size is only 384 KB. ive searched high and low on the internet for answers but i have not gotten anywhere.

3 Tables, one with 891 rows, one with 83 and the other with 24

@Idrissshatila 

 

I tried to make a whole new report and when i upload the excel file i am getting the error "The total number of columns in the model is 16402, which exceeds the limit of 16000"

Which doesnt make sense... the one table has 28 columns, the next has 9 and the third has 18.
