Power BI report Server slow
- 1 year ago
Hi denisciola ,
If your server is dedicated to Power BI Report Server, you can enhance performance by increasing the TotalMemoryLimit in the msmdsrv.ini file to 90–95%. This change enables the Analysis Services engine to use more of the available memory, thereby improving report efficiency.
Recommended
- TotalMemoryLimit - 90–95%
- LowMemoryLimit - Typically 60–70%, adjustable based on workload
After implementing these changes, it's essential to monitor system memory usage to ensure stable performance. Even on a dedicated server, tracking key performance counters will help verify that the OS retains sufficient resources.

you're saying that the SSAS service consumes 100% of the memory.
IMHO this could mean:
- report are too expensive
- memory is not enough for your workloads
- or both
how much memory has this server?
most of the time bad performances come from bad report/model design.
for example:
- useless data imported (this amount of data will reside in RAM)- wrong data types
- bad DAX patterns
- ...
have you alredy check the reports with devs?
Thank you for your feedback
Regarding the item:
If my server is exclusively for Analysis Services, can I configure the Power BI Report msmdsrv.ini file to use 95% of the memory, or is it better to leave it at 75%?
The parameter I should change is TotalMemoryLimit?
