"Invoke Attempt Failed"
So this is a very unfortunate reply for me to write: It turns out (?) that the MSPBI file basically got corrupted while I was working on it for 7 days. Later in the day I tried to save it, and I kept getting an error saying it was unable to save it. So I copied all of the code behind my queries into different notepad files, closed the file, rebooted, opened it again, and copied all of my queries from Notepad back into it.
The error is gone.
So maybe the reason why I couldn't find information on "Invoke Attempt Failed" was because it's a nonsense error fixed by discarding all your work and going back to the last successful save 😞
I do appreciate everybody's thoughts/input on this, I'm sorry this wasn't more interesting (?)
Hey lbendlin; I knew I forgot some other information.
So from what I can tell I can push past it and ignore it entirely. It doesn't appear to mean anything. But I would really prefer to be able to do something about it to stop it from appearing since I'm going to be sharing this dashboard with a large quantity of people outside of my department and I don't want them getting confused.
It is reproduceable: I've seen it about 10-15 times today. When it pops up, it prevents me from clicking on/using any other part of Power BI until I close that error window. Which I find interesting, but maybe that's normal error message behavior (I haven't gotten lots of errors in the past, haha)
When does it appear? I'm not sure. It appears to be something background related. Because if will usually appear if I click 'Refresh All' but sometimes I'll just be in the query editor, and I'll step away for 20 minutes, come back, and the error has popped-under the Query Editor.
Super UserDid you enable automatic page refresh anywhere?
