Error with blocking queries

Hi,

I have created a Power BI report with multiple tables from datasources (Excel files) saved in Teams/Sharepoint.

All seemed to be working ok, until i tried to add one more table which is literally a date (it's needed to calculate the number of days left to plan a delivery and changes every time they plan the deliveries hence needing this to be added to the report import) but now when i try to refresh the data i get the error loading blocked by failues with other queries.

 

However i can't see any other failures with other queries.  The report keeps saying i have pending changes, but when i click apply (even after deleting this new table) the message wont go away.

 

I can add the data using a local copy of the file but this report will be published to be used - so the data needs to be in a sharepoint.  I just don't understand why i can't add this data 😞

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hi! @blink2210 

 

Can you scroll down and see if any other table is causing the error, which is highly unlikely as per your ss I see a few of them have already been loaded. 

 

I would suggest trying deleting that table and clearing the cache and existing credentials and refreshing again.

 

 

For Power BI trainings or support dm or reach out to me on LinkedIn.

Hi,

I've tried clearing cache and credentials - makes no difference.

I've also noticed that when it applys the changes - it's not actually refreshing any of my tables (even when there's no errors)

 

I really don't know what else to try. 

Hi,

apoligies I missed the comment about clearing cache (I'm in mobile) so I will try that and let you know how I get on.

 

thanks

Hi,

all tables seem to load without error.  I've deleted the one table I want to add and I don't get the error.  But the message about applying updates still shows even though there is no updates to the report.
