Same is happening to me. I have been using the same tables for a while, and it was only a month ago that this started happening, without any changes to the data... 

Need help with this please.-

Hi, 

 

I have the same trouble after I get one more table from mysql database. I have tried to load tables different ways in different order. If I get data from this table firstly, it seems OK. All another ways cause the same issue. What is wrong in this table?

Problem just "popped up" for me.  Made a copy of a pbix file for additional testing/development, added connections to 2 additional dimension tables (Excel) and C R A S H!

 

This issue needs a response - please.

Hello,

 

I face the same issue and really don't understand what happen as everything looks normal in my way of working.

 

Any clue from Microsoft ?

I get the same error with an ODBC query.  It was working fine and all I did was add in 2 extra columns and exclude one record that caused a duplicate.

Why does this happen - what does the error actually mean?

I had the same error.

My data source is in Excel.

I removed the filter in Excel and re-did Get data in PowerBI.

It worked!

Also having this issue.

 

Created a blank query for one of my MailChimp lists, imported JSON, converted to table, shaped the data, then duplicated that table and changed all of the values to reflect another list I have. It worked with the one table but as soon as I duplicated it, they're not working. I obviously did something wrong. 

Are you still getting this error? Where is it showing up? Can you share the query that generates this error (edit queries -> advanced editor -> select all, copy and paste)
