    Thank you than688, this fixed the issue for me also.

     

    Basically I just created a basic new data table of just a few U.S States, via "Enter Data" on Home screen.

     

    Then put the following at the top of each of my calculated tables:

         VAR _Temp = MAX('US States'[ST])
     
    Now data can be refreshed.

    It appears that the update to Power BI Desktop for November 2022 has fixed this issue.

Update from my side - my company IT team told me to reinstall the september version and this has solved the issue so i'm assuming this is something to do with the October update. 

 

Problem now is that any reports developed with October version can't be refreshed on September version. Solution is still needed as this is just a work around for me.
