Hi david654100 ,

From the error details, it looks like the latest Power BI update has removed or broken a required dependency for the BigQuery connector:

Apache.Arrow.Adbc.Telemetry.Traces.Listeners (Version=0.21.0.0)

This missing DLL is causing all BigQuery‑based queries to fail during refresh.

Steps I plan to follow:

  1. Roll back Power BI Desktop to the previous stable version (before the update).
  2. Re‑install the latest BigQuery connector package.
  3. If the issue still persists, I will
    • Raise a support ticket with Microsoft, and
    • Check if Google has released a patch for the ADBC connector issue.
  4. Meanwhile, refreshes cannot run until the missing Apache Arrow dependency is fixed.

Please let me know if we already have a known workaround or if anyone has a working previous version installer.

Thanks!
Gokul
