Hi @tek2hd,

 

Base on my research, the error is thrown when an assembly is corrupted, and there could be many and various reasons for this to happen: viruses, hardware failure, software bugs or a wrong action taken by the user.

 

We can't do much about that, if the problem persists I would suggest you to reinstall the newest version of Power BI Desktop or .NET Framework to see if it works.Smiley Happy

Although this would become too technical for me: I just searched for the error message and got a lot of hits, including https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/carmelop/2013/06/12/system-badimageformatexception-bad-il-range-wha...

 

So I would expect the cause of the error being somewehere at your data source and not in the queries.
