You can increase the memory allocation for Power BI Desktop by modifying the 'Personal.properties' file. Locate this file (typically in your user profile directory), add or modify the following lines: `}_MAX_MEMORY=4096` (for 4GB) or `}_MAX_MEMORY=8192` (for 8GB). Then restart Power BI Desktop. Note that available RAM on your machine must be sufficient.
