Hi!
I have a data model in power bi desktop, the tables are loaded from two files (.xlsm) on server, and it refreshed data well yesterday.
But today when I click refresh data of the fact table (refresh only one table), it's stucking in "Creating connection in model" 1 hour...
Also, I've examined the table which has no blank columns.
I think that the problem is in the files. Can you help me to understand what a problem?
Maybe you need some additional information?
Thanks,
Alex.
Try switching on Diagnostics (In Options and Settings) and check the logs to see what's going on.
