  • Hi Devmsz1 

    The error message “The Query has exceeded the available resources. Try filtering or decrease the amount of data requested” in Power BI occurs when a query or visual exceeds the memory or processing limits allocated by Power BI, particularly in the Power BI Service.

     

    these are not workarounds but kind of best practice:

     

    Apply filters at the data source level to reduce the volume of data being imported into Power BI. This minimizes unnecessary data processing and improves performance

     

    Use Query Folding: Push transformations (e.g., filtering, aggregations) back to the data source so they are processed there instead of within Power BI

    Reduce Data Granularity: Avoid loading unnecessary details.

    Use calculated columns for expensive calculations that can be precomputed during data refresh instead of runtime measures

    Eliminate or replace resource-heavy functions like `CROSSJOIN` and overly complex `SWITCH` statements

    For large datasets, implement incremental refresh to load only new or updated data during refresh cycles

    Limit the number of rows or data points displayed in visuals by applying “Top N” filters or slicers

    Hope this is helpful 

     

    Thanks

    Hi Devmsz1 

    What connection mode are you using? If it's Import mode, I suggest you switch from Import mode to DirectQuery or Dual mode.
