Recouces exceeded error on a visual

Hi Community,

 

On a dashboard, I get the following error on data refresh for a visual on Power BI service:

"Resources Exceeded

This visual has exceeded the available resources. Try filtering to decrease the amount of data displayed.

Please try again later or contact support. "
 
This error does not occur on my desktop PBI file.
 
Any solution? I have tried reducing the dataset, it hasn't helped.
 
Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Your visual has attempted to query too much data for us to complete the result with the available resources. Try filtering the visual to reduce the amount of data in the result.

 

When you run a DAX query in Power BI it will always use a certain amount of memory; inefficient DAX calculations can cause a query to try to grab a lot of memory. In Power BI Desktop these queries may run successfully but be slow, but the Power BI Service can’t just let a query use as many resources as it wants (if it did, it may affect the performance of other queries being run by other users) so there is a resource governor that will kill queries that are too resource hungry.
