Resources Exceeded Error in Matrix Visual – Need Optimization Suggestions

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I'm encountering a "Resources Exceeded" error in one of my Power BI reports. The issue happens when loading a matrix visual that includes multiple hierarchical levels (Level2 through Level6) along with a measure that calculates values using a DAX expression.

Some context:

• Visual uses a matrix with fields: Particulars, Level2, Level3, Level4, Level5, and Level6 in rows.

• Two measures are in the values section: Amount and Particular Amt Previous....

• A filter is applied: Particulars is not blank.

• Slicers are used for Organization and Period.

• Data model contains large volumes of data from a financial dataset.

I've tried limiting slicers, but the issue persists. The goal is to preserve the drill-down levels but improve performance or avoid this resource cap.

Any suggestions on optimizing the measure or model structure to reduce resource usage would be highly appreciated.

Generally, whatever works is a good approach over that which does not work. Would really have to know more to say for sure 100% either way. You may be able to find another way by optimizing your DirectQuery queries but, again, hard to say.
