The complete guide to Power BI memory usage and memory errors
If you've ever seen the "The visual has exceeded the available resources" error in a Power BI report or had your semantic model refresh with a "Resource governing" error, this is the session for you. In it you'll find out how Power BI semantic models use memory, how you can measure memory usage, when and why memory errors occur and what you can do to fix them.Joe Billingham
Consultant @ Purple Frog Systems
Wolverhampton, United Kingdom
For more than a decade. I've been involved in the fascinating world of data! From SQL Server and SSIS, to Azure Data Factory, Synapse, Power BI, and more recently, Fabric. Day-to-day I'm a senior member of the data engineering team at Purple Frog Systems and in my spare time I run the Microsoft Data Platform Birmingham user group as well as my own blog.Running a user group allows me to connect with amazing folks and either teach or learn from like-minded people. I've had the privilege of speaking at various user groups and conferences, giving back to the community wherever I can.
There's more to me than just data! I'm also the creator of the Data Luthier blog, where I talk all things tech and give a sneak peek into my other passion: guitars! Yup, I'm a total guitar geek – from playing to collecting, fixing, and even crafting my instruments.
