Something went wrong - An error occured while rendering the report

[gentzkekaden]

I had an issue with my report that I was building and I did not have any backups saved. So I downloaded the "live" version from Teams and at first, it opened up just fine. So I saved it over the current version I was working on and when I closed it and opened it back up it will no longer open. It will first tell me that it can not connect to the data source. It gives me the option to retry, edit, and cancel. Whenever I click edit it just says "Something went wrong, an error occurred while rendering the report". I have listed the error details below. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Note my data is located on my desktop as multiple Excel files.

Hi @gentzkekaden ,

Please try close all instances of Power BI Desktop. Then Open file explorer and navigate to the folder <system drive>:\\Users\\<user>\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\Power BI Desktop\\CEF\\cache. Replace <system drive> with your operating system hard disk partition and <user> with your user profile name,delete all contents of this folder.
Finally,restart Power BI Desktop or install the latest version. If the problem persists, it could be related to a specific visual or feature in your report. Some users have reported similar issues when using certain visuals or features, and have resolved the issue by disabling those features or reconfiguring the visuals.
