    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Please follow below steps to check whether it resolves your problem:

    1. Make a backup of your Power BI file
    2. Navigate to File -> Options and Settings -> Options -> CURRENT FILE -> Data Load -> Untick "Auto Date/Time".
    3. Refresh all data
    4. Navigate to Options -> Data Load -> tick "Auto Date/Time".
    5. Refresh all data

      This fix worked for the following error too

       

      Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: ’There's not enough memory to complete this operation. Please try again later when there may be more memory available.

      Thanks a lot for suggesting this solution.

      This has created a new problem now. 

       

      I have lost the date hierarchy for all dates. 

       

      Is thre any easy way to fix it?

      Hi Support Team,

      I experience the same "LocateDateTable" error fter editing the name of an existing table. I tried refreshing the data after unticking "Auto Date/Time" in the Data Load options menu, but the result is a Something Went Wrong message.

       

      Is there a more recent fix than the process reported here on October 26, 2017?  My power BI desktop installation is current through December 2018.

       

      Many thanks
