Unexpected error: Evaluation was canceled

I can't figure this out. 

 

I get an Unexpected error: Evaluation was canceled when i try to access several tables in my model. 

 

Does anyone know what the Root cause of this error is?

 

I've cleared my cache and re-installed PBI and this continues to happen.

 

Help.

 

Regards,

Tina

Hi @puffenstuffs,

I can not reproduce your scenario, what's your Power BI desktop version? I use the latest version: 2.48.4792.721. 

Best Regards,

Hello,

 

Thanks for looking.

 

 Mine is Version: 2.48.4792.721 64-bit (July, 2017) as well.

 

What I have managed to do is in query editor is if i refresh the preview it will load but like way slow. Like it takes half and hour!

 

Atleast I haven't lost my work.

Hi @puffenstuffs,

It's weird, my colleague never encounter the issue using the latest version. Have you get the error before? I suggest you can create a support ticket here to check your underlying data.

Best Regards,
Angelia
