    Hi All,

     

    A fix has been deployed to address this issue. Could you follow steps below from this thread to see if it works now?:smileyhappy:

     

    1) Close all instances of Power BI Desktop

    2) Open file explorer and navigate to the folder <system drive>:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\CEF\cache

    • replace <system drive> with your operating system hard disk partition
    • replace <user> with your user profile name, typically the alias you login to Windows with

    3) Delete all contents of this folder

    4) Restart Power BI Desktop

     

    Regards

Hi Ahmet,

 

in my case it was sufficient to remove the DAX code from the DAX Query window(s). After that I could save my file without errors. However, seeing how old this topic is, there might be other causes for this error still. Did you try to copy and analyse the errormessage in an editor like notepad?

 

Cheers,

Niels
