Hello, I have a little trouble it is last time with POWER BI DESKTOP, when the file is big that I try to refresh it takes almost 2 hours of waiting, it takes a lot of resources in the RAM and cpu and finally he wrote FAIL, but 2 weeks ago he did not take so much resource, it was not so long and it worked well he wrote not fail to end.
Hi @BrianM,
1. I would suggest you optimize your data model. Please refer to power-bi-reports-performance#optimize-your-model.
2. Remove unnecessary query steps in the Query Editor.
3. Upgrade the Desktop to the May 2018 release.
4. Try out this function if needed. query-bi/m/table-buffer.
Best Regards,
Dale
