Hello everyone, 

I am new to Power BI and had this issue come up when trying to open the file (screenshot below). The file was working last week and I didn't do anything unusual that would cause this to happen. 

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello everyone, 

I'm pretty new to Power BI and keep getting this message when I try to open the desktop app. I can open the file via the web but I cannot refresh.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
