Hi All,
I have one report I am updating for 1+ years and always worked fine.
Unfortunately, since a couple of weeks whenever I try to refresh power pivot, the model fails and return this error

The error persists on old versions of the file and even if I am not refreshing any query [using the same data that always worked].
Any suggestion would be appreciated!
Thank you, Umberto.
I would open a support ticket. I suspect a minor bug was introduced in a recent update. I assume you are on Office 365.
If not - and you haven't updated Excel in a while, then try to find an old version of the file. There may be a corruptoin in the current one.
DAX is for Analysis. Power Query is for Data Modeling
Proud to be a Super User!
MCSA: BI ReportingThanks edhans!
Yes, I am on 365 with the most updated version of Excel; I tried to use some older versions, but they all had the same issue.
Will open a support ticket too!
