Hi @nicol-27

"I tried to make the refresh of the tables i uploaded to power Bi, by pressing the bottom refresh, but it wont work, just sends this message"

Do you mean refresh from Power BI Desktop or Power BI Service?

 

Best Regards

Maggie

Refresh from the power bi desktop, it just doesnt work, except if I make a copy of the file to my own desktop and run it from there
