Hi all,
I upgraded my Power Bi desktop to the latest version (August 2022 release) a week ago but don't know if this error has something to do with this.
1) When I download a PBIX-file from Service and open it in Power Bi desktop, it says there are pending changes that haven't been applied:
2) Then, when I click 'Apply changes', it says it's loading Queries metadata:
3) Then, all my imported tables have disappeared and this is what I see:
When I click 'discard changes' in step 1, and then refresh the report afterwards, I have no errors.
This report was initially built in a previous version of Power BI desktop so I saved a new version in Power Bi Desktop and published it to the Service, but when I download the PBIX after this I get the same error again.
I looked at this article (see also this post) but I can't find anything in the queries that is related to this.
Anyone any ideas @amitchandak or anyone else?
