Desktop - Power Query - Where are my datapreviews?

Hi,

 

I get this message when i open de power query editor in my PBI-desktop

Information: The preview refresh has been canceled. If you've disabled background data preview downloading, this is expected behavior because only one preview can be refreshed at any given time. This does not affect the data you have loaded. To see the result of this query, you must manually refresh the preview in the Power Query Editor.

I would be extremely thankful if someone would be able to help me

Thanks in advance

 

Kind regards, Misha
