Same thing keeps happening to me as well.  My report is sveral months old, and just since the June 2018 update have I seen issues.  My data moel is built from both SQL Server and Excel files.  When I run in Power BI Desktop it works just fine, but once I publish it I keep getting the "Something went wrong" Unable to load data model error, and lots of little spinning gifs on the report in the Power BI Portal as it is attempting to load.

 

I am going to try the delete and upload method mentioned, but I would like to hear if there is a better fix.

      Some more explanation :

      Sometimes you need to hide/unhide a file.

      For us, it's the transition from hide to unhide or from unhide to hide that breaks the data source link.

      To change visibilty, use following steps :

       

      1/ Hide or Unhide

      2/ Reupload from the file management3/ You're fine
