Unexpected Error: store must be open for this operation

Hello,

I have changed some of my data fields from being True / False to 1/0 so I can count and sum them for visualiszations.

Now that I come to save te PBIX file I am getting this error message : 

 

"Unexpected Error

Store must be open for this operation"

 

I cant seem to find a solution to this.

I have checked and I can access the server and database no problem

Any assistance would be gratefully received.

 

Thanks

I haven't reproduced this issue. What's your data source? And what are those measures with this column involved?

 

Regards,

Hi, Thanks for teh reply Simon.

The data source is a SQL server database.

The columns are in the database as a true / false and are things like whether a project has been approved or not.

 

Thanks

I still can't reproduce this issue.

Did you upgrade your Power BI Desktop into latest version?

 

If this issue still persists, I suggest you open a support ticket.
