Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2012 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2012 fix release.
Symptoms
Assume that you run a Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) query against a tabular model in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services (SSAS 2012). The DAX query contains a calculated measure that has many nested IF conditions or a Switch command that has many cases. In this situation, an out-of-memory error may occur.
Cause
This issue occurs because the DAX engine generates an inefficient query plan for the calculated measure. The query plan includes redundant joins for the calculated measure.
