Recent Sources is Disabled

Hi,   I am building a model based on our Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online data. I have two tables in my model already and would like to add some more from the same source but the Recent Sources button...

Hi,

 

From help | About I am on Version: 2.47.4766.542 64-bit (June 2017). I have a new laptop so pretty much everything is up to date.

Is there a repair or checkdb equivalent option?

 

Thanks

Ian

IanR,

Do you get same issues when you connect to other data sources(for example, Excel file)? Go to Control panel>Programs>Uninstall a program, right click Power BI Desktop, there is a "Repair" option.

    Hi ,

     

    I have created an entirely new model and I have the same problem. All of yesterday while Power BI Desktop was open the Recent Sources button was enabled and I was able to add additional tables to the model from CRM Online. Today, after closing and re-opening, the Recent Sources button is disabled. That's in both the main report window and the Query Editor window. Is therre a setting somewhere that controls this?

     

    Will things get complicated or inefficient if I add a New Source that points to the same oDate connection? I'm trying hard with this model to be as efficient as possible because the last model was a monster and took far too long to refrtesh.

     

    Thanks
