Hi, @Analitika 

 

Try filtering the visual to reduce the amount of data in the result.

This visual has exceeded the available resources. Try filtering to decrease the amount of data displayed.

Your visual has attempted to query too much data for us to complete the result with the available resources. Try filtering the visual to reduce the amount of data in the result.

refer:

This visual has exceeded the available resources.

 

And you can follow the tips to optimize your report:

1.Do not expose in a view a column that is not necessary in the Power BI data model.

2.Optimize the DAX calculation used in this visual to use less memory and return faster or change what the visual displays.

3.Remove unnecessary precision or split granularity values to reduce cardinality(Significantly reduce highly unique datetime values by splitting the date and time into separate columns.

Hi @Analitika 

 

This typically means that either the DAX measure is not well written and is using too much memory/CPU to complete the computation.

 

I would suggest making sure you are using a star schema in your dataset. 

And then that your DAX measure is written as efficiently as possible?

Hi

In my report I have 879113 distinct member count. In data model each member may have multiple data. For one member count also drill through not working showing this same error. Saying exceeded memory consumption that a limit. It's Import.node report still why saying memory consumption please reply

Hi @santosh_hmt 

 

This is due to the fact that you have a lot of distinct members. And when doing a distinct count, it is very memory intensive. And that is why it is causing you to get that error. You would either need to remove. the amount of distinct members you have will get a larger capacity in order to get more memory.

I am also getting this error.

 

My model has 24 tables. 

  • 6 tables come from the Adventure Works database (Excel and CSV files), 
  • 5 PDF files (50 US states & zip codes over the 5 files),
  • 3 PDF files (about 30 rows total over the 3 files), 
  • 1 SQL Table with 2K rows and about 60 columns
  • 4 other PDF/HTML tables with a total of about 1300 rows over the 4 tables.
  • 1 Calendar table (used the CALENDARAUTO Function) with about 86K rows and 15 columns.

There is only 1 report page which I use just for displaying tables and card visuals.

This model is used strictly as a model for teaching PBI.

When I add 13 columns of the Calendar table to a table visual, all is fine.  When I try to add the 14th column, I get the error.  This table is the only visual.
My PBIX file is less than 4Mb.
Is there a way to determine which available resources I am exceeding?
