Ran Out of Memory Error

Hello, 

 

I have a Power BI dashboard (desktop) that is connected to a SharePoint list and a few Excel files. 

 

It is failing to refresh the SharePoint list. It loads 2.35 MB from the SharePoint list and then I get an error. The SharePoint list has 125,460 rows. When I export the SharePoint list to Excel, the file size is only 8,845 KB. 

Does anyone know what's going on here? I don't think I have too much data in the dashboard, I think there's a different issue. 

 

Please be very explicit in your answer, I'm new to Power BI. 

Need Help

    pgd , seem like it is failing because of some calculated column or table.

    On desktop, you can increase Data Cache management and check

      I changed the settings according to your screenshot above. Upon doing that, the refresh was able to load 66.4 MB from SharePoint. That is an improvement from before, but it still gave me the same error. Is there a way to tell what exactly is failing? The error it's giving me isn't very informative.
