Skip Files with Errors

I have a report that uses a Folder input (containing XML files), however - due to unknown reasons - some of these XML files are corrupt and get an error (see my other post for that). While I'm working on finding the root cause for that error, I was wondering if there is a way to simply skip these files instead of stopping the whole data refresh?

 

Thank you!

    Hi, tpmobley ;

    this issue can be caused by multiple reasons, you can have a check:

     

    Core excel > 30MB
    Excel has password
    Permission issue
    Corrupted model
    Wrong type, error format, value issue, etc.

     

    If you still have a problem, you can try these steps to find if they can be useful:

     

    First, make sure the PBI desktop is the latest version.
    Then please delete the data source (File -> Options and Settings -> Data Source Settings) and reconnect to see if it works.
    Please make sure all permission and credentials are correct.
