PowerBI Desktop Crashes
Akahn My guess is that they'll have you go into options and enable tracing, have you crash the desktop and send them the trace file to see why it is doing it. Or you could just do that.
Are you using the 64bit version?
No, 32 bit because my Office install is 32 bit, although I have a 64 bit CPU.
Well, it doesn't matter how much memory you have then, I think 32 bits can only address 4gb of memory--the largest 32bit integer is 2gb. You can install any version of desktop you wish. It doesn't matter what your Office 365 is, though it seems like 64bit would be smart all around.
OK, so increasing the data cache won't help. Is there any way to limit the data being preloaded, other than removing queries?
Oh, and this also presumes that your version of windows is also 64 bit. There's no good technical reason to use 32bit Office 365 that I can see--and it's the same license fee. It's just what you installed.
I'm not sure what the underlying issue is, but I'm experiencing the same thing with the 64 bit version and 16GB of RAM.
