Sequence contains no matching element error

Is anyone getting "Sequence contains no matching element" errors in Power BI desktop refreshes?
Is so, which version of Power BI Desktop are you using please?
The forum history says this problem has cropped up before with faulty Power BI desktop releases.
I therefore tested the same PBIX on an old and new version of Power BI Desktop, and sure enough only the new one failed.
