PowerBI refresh from Excel data source crashes on the only column that has a formula
Hi Saide ,
According to the official document, When you import an Excel workbook from your personal OneDrive, any data in the workbook, like tables in worksheets and/or data that are loaded into the Excel data model and the structure of the data model, are imported into a new dataset in Power BI. Power BI automatically connects to the workbook on OneDrive, or SharePoint Online, about every hour to check for updates. If the workbook has changed, Power BI will refresh the dataset and reports in the Power BI service.
In addition, you could configure Scheduled refresh

Hi Eyelyn 🙂
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately it is not what I meant. I refresh my data manually. Normally it works even if changes were made to the source file in Excel on SharePoint. From time to time it happens that the refresh crashes, no data is uploaded, previous data disappears. I do not know what changes made by users are causing it. I only know that to solve it I need to run a macro that inhide/unfreeze all the columns and rows. What I need it either to fine the cause or a solution that does not require me to go to the source file and run a macro.
Than you anyway,
