Can not add new table into model

HI,

 

i do have a report where I use Dataflow as source and load several tables into the report. everything work fine, no issue

 

2 issues occure though:

1. Change the dataflow:
when I change the DF and grab another dataflow, same tablenames, just different area, click on load the Dataflow is loading and once finish, i receive an error: Can not load into Datamodel.

Strange thing is after refresh a 2nd time, the error is not showing anymore and everything is fine.

 

2. adding new tables:
if i add a new table, no matter what source, DF or just enter data, click on load, i also receive the error: Can not load into Datamodel. A refresh is not helping in this case.

 

the first issue is kind of annoying but okay, its working. 

The second issue is a problem as I can not extend the modell and add new things to it.

 

I am using Powerbi Desktop, latest version. 

 

Is this a known issue or did I somehow damage my model? 

 

Any thoughts?

 

thanks

Hi,

update on my test: I use a couple of field parameters for dynamic changing the x -axis (day, week, month) and linked them in the model with bidirectional relationship. 

Once I change this bidirectional on one side, the issue is gone, at least not showing up again.

guess that was the issue, but not sure why

 

thanks

Hi, 

well, I followed the tipps and found one workaround. 

Actually there are 2 tables connected. Once i delete the connection i can add tables again. THen I can connect them again.

 

Strange, no cache issues, no circular reference nor any errors showing in the measueres. Modell has about 6 dimensions, 8 facts tables and a few field parameters. no table has more than 100k rows. not sure if this is too complicate or too much but i dont think so.

 

 

I still dig a bit to find out why. Will circle back in the next days and give a feedback and then close the topic

thanks

@Hansolu Try clearing the cache in Power BI Desktop via Options > Data Load. Restart Power BI to resolve any underlying issues. Check for circular dependencies in the data model. If the problem persists, consider re-creating the dataflows or simplifying the model.
