Hi,
When trying to add a new column measure, I am getting the following error.
"There's not enough memory to complete this operation. Please try again later when there may be more memory available."
I have tried clearing all the cache. Deleted all the unnecessary columns, and internal table visuals. I have 16GB memory in my laptop and I am also not using any other powerful app simultaneously. However, I am still getiing the same error message. I am attaching the detailed error message for referrence. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Use DAX Studio to examine and refactor your measure or calculated column. Check the Query plan, specifically the Records column. A high number there (typically in the millions) is an indication that you are multiplying too many tables in your query.
