Use "Refresh All"  instead of "Refresh Preview".  Clear the Power BI Desktop cache.

Hi  @lbendlin , i tried "refresh All", but the issue persists, i also tried to clear the cache as in this article : https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Query/Excel-Power-Query-Cache-Folder/td-p/2637069 
 but nothing happened, should i also clear Q&A managment Cache ? 

Do you observe the same issue after restarting your PC?

I have restarted the Pc and yes, the issue persiste after clearing all the Caches and increasing the permited max cache

not sure what else it could be.
