Hi Community Friends,
Im currently testing out the Oct 2020 release of Power BI desktop and as I try to open exsisting reports that where created in previous versions I get an error that Power BI Cannot load model. All the reports I have tried to open are using direct query and I get the below error across all direct query reports.
The only way I found to remedy thiss is to access the data source, edit permissions and manually re run the native query which seems to fix it however we will be rolling this out to our Corporation and I was wondering if there is an alternative fix where users dont have to go through running queries manually..
