Unexpected Error - Report ran out of memory

[dharsanj]

I am getting constant report crashes due to the following error:

Unexpected Error: We're sorry. This report ran out of memory, and the application must close.

Send a Frown.

This is super annoying and a productivity limiter. Any insights for the root cause?

I think the root cause is a lack of memory! 🙂

Is it due to the RAM capacity? I have 16GB, but I see that its used at a high level when reports are refreshing or being saved. 

What is the recommended RAM capacity for a report that is ~100MB? 

[Greg_Deckler]

No, I have 16GB of data on my machine and I have run 100MB models without much issue. I mean, I have run data models way larger than that as well like up to 1 GB without an issue.

So, File | Options and settings | Options | Diagnostics, which version are you on? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit? What is your OS?
