Error while Upgrading AS Tabular Projects 2014 -> 2016

Hey guys,

i get this message when i try to upgrade the Compatibility Level of my AS Tabular Project from 2014 (1103) to 2016 (1200) whilst I try to put Power BI on top of it.:

 

Any idea, what this could be?

 
============================
Error Message:

Thank you and BR

just needs to clean up your temporary model and then, upgrade your model.

while your project is opened in visual studio, goto management studio, connect to tabular server and delet temporary model.

then, open model and don't process that. convert your model to 2016 and then deploy, process or save your model.
