@Anonymous For rerfresh errors, please compare with data set if any column name has changed or deleted.

So i think i have found the issue , it is due to above setting i have change. as in the past i never enter ID and PW , after i enter ID and PW , all my old PBI file unable to open.

 

Now when i open my old PBI file :-
