One or more calcualted objects needs to be manually refreshed

[jaryszek]

Hello,

after opening report by another developer using *.bpip project file, there is an error:

It is working when I am opening report from my side. 

Why? What does it mean? I do not want to refresh report if already data was put there... (it requires to regeneret tokens to github).

Best,
Jacek

The .pbip folder structures doesn't necessarily contain any data, just the model/report structure. Thus, you have to refresh it if you want to hydrate it with data.

If you want to share a file that does include data, it needs to be a .pbix file or else the other develper needs to make sure to also share the .pbi folder that includes a populated cache.abf file (this is where the data lives).

Inside this folder:
