In my case, I just found one of the freshly added measures via Tabular Editor that was breaking the update. Removed it from the report. Added it again with a different name and everything worked.

Finding that measure was a matter of successively deleting measures until the update worked.

Also from the recommendations I've seen:

Check for Duplicate Elements: Ensure that the data or elements you are querying do not contain duplicates when they are not supposed to. This is often the case when you expect a unique identifier but find multiple entries with the same identifier.

Hi @Anonymous ,

There is a similar post on a previous version of PBI Desktop it was solved by MSFT, you should place this on the issues part of the forum.

Hi, 

update is not a solution I am currently using the latest version of power bi
I am updating/refreshing data from SQL server in Azure 
could it be a bug?  😄

Hi @Anonymous ,

Not saying that you need to update your PBI Desktop version, I was refering that in a previous update someone had the same error.

Post this error on the issues part of the forum link below:
