Go to File->Option and settings->Options->Diagnostics, you will find the logs if tracing is enabled by clicking "Open traces folder". You should be able to open the file in a notebook and find the error.

Hi PowerUserR

 

Thank you for your help. However, the Power Bi Desktop Trace Logs Analyser doesn't help in my case. I followed the instruction but encountered errors after I changed the variable “VAR_LogFolder” to point to my trace logs folder.

 

Is there another way?
