Getting visual has exceeded the available resource error on Power BI Service for a visual

Hi All,

 

I have created a model with few dimensions and one fact table. The fact table is huge so cannot load it using import mode so kept it in direct. Rest all dimensions are set to import (also tried dual). When creating a visual by pulling the data from 2 dimensions and amount field from fact, it is throwing an error (visual has exceeded the available resource). When checked the details, it is getting timeout after 225 secs. I tried adding command timeout to an hour in power query for all the tables but still getting same error on Service. On desktop, it worked when i changed the query limit simulation to no limit but on service, it is not working. I am using premium P1 capacity. Is there any way to increare the query timeout from 3mins to max so that it will not throw any error and load the data ?

 

Any help would be really appreciated!!!

Examine the Direct Query queries in DAX Studio and optimize your datasource accordingly.

 

Note that when dimension table join keys have cardinality over 50K performance will degrade.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

"This visual has exceeded the available resources" error message indicates that the query or the computation it involves consumes more memory than the limit configured in Power BI.

 

There are two possible solutions:

 

1.Refer to the official documentation provided:

2.Optimize the model and the query as @lbendlin said.
