Refresh not working

Hi

 

Everytime I try to refresh my data I get the message "file in use" which then stops all the other queries refreshing.

 

The tabes are mainly from Access and I know for sure that the tables are not open, when I close the refresh and try it again it can change the reference to which table is already in use.

Thanks

Steve

@steveorme69,

Unselect the "Enable parallel loading of tables" option in your PBIX file, then check if you can refresh data successfully.
