    It’s hard to know exactly what is causing this without a lot more info but the cause is either one (or a combination) of these:

    • Complex Power Query transformations
    • Complex data model (bi-directional relationships etc.)
    • Complex DAX used in measures or calculated columns
    • Dynamic M parameters

     

    In general I feel like these things don’t pop up if you are limiting any transformations in Power Query and you follow Roche’s Maxim

     

    Please mark this post as a solution if it helps you. Appreciate Kudos.
