Hi Analitika
Well that clearly isn't right but withotu seeing your code and understanding what you are trying to do, it's hard to help.
Please provide your file/code and an explanation of what it is you are doing.

Hi,
I just make like this. Get data, import xml to power bi that's all. Loading xml to power bi takes a lot of time although file size is 2 MB. Here is how the file looks like https://filetransfer.io/data-package/O1EhEcE9#link.

Hi Analitika
That URL is flagged as malicious by my antimalware software and by Virus Total.
Please upload your XML file to somewhere like OneDrive or Google Drive.

Hi Analitika
Thanks for the file. I can import that to PBI without issue in a few seconds.
How exactly are you getting the file? From a folder? Server? A website?

Hi Analitika
Yes all 200+ tables. At the point where it's Evaluating the queries click on Skip. The data will load anyway and you should be ok. It took a little while to load on mine but only a few seconds.
