    The issue is with your cache.abf file. My assumption is that this file not only stores your report’s local cache but also may include metadata tied to a specific Power BI version.
    To resolve this:
    1. Go to the Dataset(SemanticModel)/.pbi folder.
    2. Delete the cache.abf file.
    3. Reopen your report in Power BI Desktop and refresh it from scratch.

Just wanted to add into this. I've had this issue a few times, and the solution offered by the others of deleting the cache.abf has not solved the issue. In fact, I really haven't been able to solve it, only work around it. I do all my dev against a workspace called "GIT Development" I then deploy that to "Development" and then to "Validation". I have GIT configured on the GIT Dev workspace and the Validation worksapce. So I end up having to disconnect GIT from GIT Dev and connect it to Validation to pull that version of the code into the workspace. Then reattached it to the normal repo, sync it, and pull it back down locally. 

 

I suspect that something I'm doing in Tabular Editor 3 while connected directly to the .pbip is causing the issue, but I have no idea what or where.
