Hi
When i run my Power BI, i face the issue of unable to load data due the operation being cancelled because of locking conflicts.
Kindly advise on what can i do about this.
Thanks.
It's basically an error because you're desktop is running too much at the same time. Think limited RAM. Close down some of your other open files, maybe restart your computer, but that should do it.

Oooh, nifty, never seen that. Import, Live or Direct Query?
Import Query i believe.
Surprising, I would not have guessed that. What verion of the Desktop?
Windows 10 Enterprise
Sorry, Power BI Desktop. File | Options and settings | Options and the Diagnostics.
