I'm able to run some of the measurements without issues on my 12GB RAM Windows VM, but it doesn't cooperate when I have multiple card visuals with different measurements on the same report page.  On my desktop, I have 32GB of RAM and I'm able to render everything properly.

 

The "big" DAX calculation can take upwards of 18GB of RAM when making the date comparisons.  It really only gets bad on my desktop when I have more than one visual doing a fairly large calculation against a table of ~40K rows.

 

It's at the point where I'm investigating if OLAP Cubes would help improve the performance of my historical data (again, offloading the strenuous calculations to an SSAS instance).
