    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Please follow below steps to check whether it resolves your problem:

    1. Make a backup of your Power BI file
    2. Navigate to File -> Options and Settings -> Options -> CURRENT FILE -> Data Load -> Untick "Auto Date/Time".
    3. Refresh all data
    4. Navigate to Options -> Data Load -> tick "Auto Date/Time".
    5. Refresh all data

    This fix worked for the following error too

     

    Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: ’There's not enough memory to complete this operation. Please try again later when there may be more memory available.

    Thanks a lot for suggesting this solution.

     

    Microsoft apps, it seems, are inching faster towards artifical intelligence.

     

    They seem to be having mood swings which are resolved by random solutions 😝

    This has created a new problem now. 

     

    I have lost the date hierarchy for all dates. 

     

    Is thre any easy way to fix it?

    Hi Support Team,

    I experience the same "LocateDateTable" error fter editing the name of an existing table. I tried refreshing the data after unticking "Auto Date/Time" in the Data Load options menu, but the result is a Something Went Wrong message.

     

    Is there a more recent fix than the process reported here on October 26, 2017?  My power BI desktop installation is current through December 2018.

     

    Many thanks
