Power BI Service Issue, This query is too complicated to run

[eddieisking2000]

Does anyone face this issue, the visual was working fine in Power BI service. But it posted error since the 2025-02-21. Is it an environmental issue or query issue? We haven't seen this issue before and the dashboard works very good in the service.

My issue was solved on 2025/02/24 with the help from microsoft team. As investigated, the issue is from Power BI service backend, nothing related to my DAX query used to vislualize in PBI. They have identified the cause and fixed the error. Hope this won't happen again, as I can see the visual in PBI desktop but not in PBI service, which is really difficult for user to debug.

Hi @eddieisking2000 

This error usually pops up when the Service hits internal limits (like query complexity or memory), even if the same report works fine in Desktop.

Microsoft likely rolled out a backend fix. If it happens again, I’d suggest:

• Breaking down complex visuals or using simpler DAX if possible

• Publishing a minimal version to isolate the issue

• Checking your workspace’s capacity settings

Most of the time, it’s a temporary Service-side glitch.
