Hello everyone!
I am sending this message because I have this error:
OLE DB or ODBC error: Evaluation ran out of memory and can't continue
The file is a log size which have 2.0 GB. I am sharing an image about this error. Although I was applying solutions describe in this community, I can't run the tool. Help me, please!

Regards,
Do you use 64bit? Using the 64-bit version will allow Power Query to use more RAM (as long as it's available)
Would you mind installing additional memory onto your system where you have Power BI Desktop installed or do you have another PC or laptop with additional memory to use that?
See the minimum requirements to run Power BI Desktop
