Invalid folder - Error when applying changes

Hey everybody,

 

we have run into the following problem with our PowerBi Query. The data is stored on a remote network drive (T:). The error complains that the overlying folder is not part of the model and thus is not able to save any changes. This error comes up for any query where we have tried to include changes.

 

Before it has worked just fine and we can't seem to trace the problem back to a singular query. Have any of you encoutered a similiar problem or know of a possible solution? If you need any further information please let me know. Sorry for the German language, my company's security guidelines prohibit me from changing it.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

So far, I have not encountered a similar issue.

Please try to check each step in Power Query Editor to see where the error started.
