    Leann,

    Do  you choose “Import” or “Connect Live” mode to connect to SSAS database in Power BI Desktop? I would recommend uncheck the following options in Power BI Desktop and then refresh your data model.


    If the above error still occurs, please try to re-connect to the SSAS database in Power BI Desktop, pull in columns and rows you need to build report.


    Regards,
    Lydia

I have this same issue, though I think it is not that the data isn't loading for me but that it only shows the Creating Connection message the entire time it is loading data. It seems like some bug or change has resulted in users no longer seeing the number of rows loaded during a refresh and instead only this mesasge for all tables.
