I have experienced that this error happens when you are trying to pull a large volume of data. I think it is restricte to a 1m rows but I could be wrong.

Hi @Anonymous :

 

I doubt that as it says use direct query to work with large dataset. So you did not find any solution to this problem?

The limit is not on large datasets but the query you are running against it. If you query returns very high volume, that's where I think this error happens. I could be wrong though. 

 

Have you tried to query small number of rows and see if it works. You can then build from there

Hi @Anonymous 

 

I have connected it via direct query and in table visual, i have just added one column and after that i started receiving this error.
