    I have run into this issue in the past and with mixed experiences. This could be due to a number of factors. The most common is size.

    Two ways I have bypassed this is.

    2) If the file is still too large, save it as a PBIT, then open it as a PBIX and cancel the refresh. Save or upload to the server, set a refresh schedule, and then the report should refresh and work.

    Cheers,
