I have a Power BI file which has been working great in January. I opened it up with the latest Feb 2024 update, and I am now getting a query folding error with every sigle visual/measure I have. Anyone else experience this? Is there any way to fix this issue?
Solved! Go to Solution.
The error says "couldn't fold the query, try using a simpler expression". I've run into this error before, and have fixed it. However, all my measures were working just fine until the recent Feb 2024 release. This release is affecting every single measure in my file.
I was able to download the Dec 2023 release, and everything is working as expected again. So, it seems it is an issue with the most recent desktop update.
I am using the Snowflake connector in Direct Query mode.

what does the error say? can you provide a screen shot, would rereshing your model in power query help> ? maybe try clearing the cache too. can you share the power query code?
