Go into the query editor and click the Applied Steps one at a time in each query (if more than one), and share the error you see if the first step that returns an error.

Many thank for your reply to my post . You are great. after i load the PBI file , i go to PQ editor , after few minute , i notice that some of the table load some are not loading. So what i did is i delete those table which unable to load , and clear all the error , i am am able to refresh. so meaning i have hope now. i don't have to start to zero , and can take those back up file whch is last week , and i just need to do the above step , it will save me a lot a lot of my time to add table.

Appreciate very much. To night i can finally have a good sleep.
