Information: Evaluation was canceled. If you have disabled the downloading of data previews

Hi all

 

I am getting the message "Information: Evaluation was canceled. If you have disabled the downloading of data previews in the background, this is expected since only one evaluation will be allowed to run at a given time. To see the result of this query, please refresh the preview."

 

Everytime I refresh on Power Query or the schedule refresh updates the dataset it gives me the above message.

 

My datasource is sharepoint folder:

Any idea what could be wrong? After I do a second refresh on Power Query it works well 😕 

 

Thanks.

Hi @v-lionel-msft 

 

In the end it worked with the second refresh. For some reason it isn't taking the first one but that's ok.

 

The great thing is that the schedule refresh works well after setting a gateway.

 

Thanks!

Hi @o59393 ,

 

Will this error occur if you import a very small file from SharePoint?

Also, has your cache reached the upper limit?
