Couldn't Load the data for this visual. An unexpected exception occured. (Power BI Desktop)

Hello,

 

I received the following messages in my Power BI Desktop Visuals. The Visuals are Matrices of Custom Measures.

 

Now the Measures used to calcluate the Custom Measures show the same error when I select them into a visual. Any thoughts?

What  is your data source?  My  first instinct is to say  that your connection to your source is broken.

Thanks ChowderChef.

 

My Data Source Connection is a SQL Server Analysis Solution (Cube). I have reconnected, and I still receive the same errors. When I select the cube's measures I receive a message, "Can't display the visual.".


I'm working with the Power BI Microsoft Support team. They asked that I fix my DAX Queries and download the latest version of Power BI Desktop.

 

Updated 2/23/18: Looks like the visuals are back up, not sure if there was a refresh happening in the datasource. I still haven't downloaded the latest version of Power BI Desktop.
