Data Load Q & A Cache Options

[KarenFingerhut]

Hi there

My desktop is running very slow with CPU hovering around 100% whenever I try and make a change to a particular report im building. I've noticed the following in Options > Data Load

Data Cache Management Options

Currently Used 2.41GB

It says max allowed 4096MB

Q&A Cache Options

Currently used 1.51 GB

Maximum allowed 4096MB

My question is if I was to clear the cache, would it cause any issues with my report, visuals, lose data etc and would it potentially resolve the issue of lagging, slow rendering etc.

Any help would really be appreciated

Many thanks

Karen

Hi @KarenFingerhut ,

Clearing the cache will not affect the use of your report. You can try to clear the cache to speed up you report.

Also you can refer to the following document for optimization:

Optimization guide for Power BI

Tips: If you are not worried about clearing the cache, you can copy a pbix as a backup.

Best Regards,
