Operation has timed out.

One of my datasets in the cloud receives an error message when being refreshed.  The error message is "Operation has timed out."  This started after adding a long "IF STATEMENT" as a column in the report section.  It is used as a SLICER.  This is successful in Power BI Desktop, BUT fails in the cloud.

@cwilliams Are you using Direct Query? I don't know if the option gets pushed to the Service, but in the Desktop - Options - Global - DirectQuery - there is a checkbox for "Allow unrestricted measures in DirectQuery mode" - I can't find where I read this, but by default complex DAX queries are disabled or restricted I believe... maybe checking this and pushing the data set again will resolve?
