Unable to connect to 1 Shared Dataset
I was updating some reports this morning based on a shared dataset and after updating 2 reports, I am no longer able to access the centrally shared data set. I have rebooted and am able to connect to other shared datasets, but when I try to connect to this one, my Power BI Desktop locks and then gives fatal error. The reports are still working in Power BI service, and I am able to download a report based on the shared dataset, but when I open it, again it crashes Power BI Desktop. I have a QA version of the dataset and am able to connect to that one just fine. I have replaced the data set and refreshed it throw our data gateway, but still am unable to connect to the shared dataset. The updates I was making were adjusting filters and not the model. Also tried to revert to previous version by downloading a good copy from power bi service with the same results.
I was able to resolve this issue by signing out of Power BI Desktop and Signing back in. Once i signed back in, it was able to connect to the shared data set without crashing Power BI Desktop. This doesn't make sense to me because I was able to connect to other Datasets in Power BI Service, but glad it resolved the issue.

Thanks v-yuta-msft , I am the owner of the dataset. I have gone into the permissions of the dataset and verified that I am still the owner. I also checked that a security group that I am in is also listed as the owner of the dataset.
