Query Refresh Failure - The model doesn't have a named expression named Measures 1

Hi PBI Community,

 

I have been working in a model for a few months now without any issue. Recently I noticed that two models that use similar data sources are unable to be refreshed when running from my local machine. I receive the follow error for all of the query refreshes: "The model doesn't have a named expression named Measures 1". This is rather frustrating for any additional development or validation outside of the online service. I have also confirmed that the model can be refreshed through online Gateway. 

 

Has anyone experienced this previously? Is there something specific that could be driving this challenge within the model. These data sources are a mix of published redshift tables being populated by Alteryx workflows that are occasionally modified and xls files stored on Microsoft Sharepoint. Before digging into the data modeling upstream, I appreciate any guidance that can be provided for troubleshooting within the PBI application.

 

Thanks in advance!

Josh
