Dear all,
I kept receiving the following errors when I refresh my dashboard, can someone advise and assist?
I have many rows and columns and all entered by various parties, I cannot re-enter those data one by one, it will be time consuming...is there any way I can narrow down the column and row that is causing the error?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Bliss
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Bliss , You have a table on one side of one-to-many relationships. That is a blank or duplicate value. check that.
You can filter null in power query and remove duplicate in power query, for the master table
Hi @Bliss ,
- Data source errorColumn '<pii>Date Period</pii>' in Table '<pii>Operations</pii>' contains blank values and this is not allowed for columns on the one side of a many-to-one relationship or for columns that are used as the primary key of a table. Table: Operations.
Based on the error message, please check table "Operations" and its column "Date Period" and remove blank values.
Best Regards,
Icey
