May have just been a hiccup, or is this occurring frequently? How big is your Excel file?

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

The Excel file is about 14 MB . Its happened a couple of times ...

What kind of pipe do you have between on-premises and the Internet? I would imagine that is where the hiccup is occurring, although you couldn't 100% rule out Power BI to OneDrive. 

 

There is also now the option of ExpressRoute to Power BI so that might be an option.
