Hi @Dnyaneshwar,

 

Current there is a similar known issue at CRI 67754144, it is appears with SSAS MD datasource with live connection mode.


Can you please share your error trace log file so I can send to power bi team to confirm this?

Hi @Dnyaneshwar,

 

Can you share sql profiler trace log here? I can't find any useful in above trace log.

Xiaoxin Sheng

Do you mean SSAS server log trace file?

 

Thanks,
