2 arguments were passed to a function which expects 1

Cannot figure this out.  Reports created online (powerbi.com) with local data sources refresh fine.  But reports created using Power BI desktop fail on refresh - whether manual or scheduled - after being published online.  Refresh on the Power BI desktop works fine - but then I need to re-publish the report.  I receive the following message:

 

2 arguments were passed to a function which expects 1.

 

Technical Information:

Activity Id: fdc2eea7-3ff4-46a2-80db-133a13430fe7

Request Id: 8ed5b1ad-6c71-4147-bbc5-dee62499d344

Cluster Name: WABI-US-EAST2-redirect.analysis.windows.net

Refresh Start Time: 04/30/2016 01:13:00Z

Refresh End Time: 04/30/2016 01:14:32Z

 

I have double checked that my Desktop and Gateway is up to date.  I have tried uninstal and re-instal of both the Desktop and the Gateway.

 

Not sure which 2 arguments the error refers to, nor am I sure what I should be checking to correct the error.

 

Credentials are fine.

 

Data source is an Access database.

 

Anyone have an answer / solution / proposal?

 

thanks,

I have the same issue using Excel 2016 (power query).

The same file was properly working in Excel 2010 & Excel 365.

 

What is "personal gateaway"?

It looks like a new update to the Personal Gateway became available 02 May 2016. 

 

So now the question is:  Why wouldn't that be caught by Update and just install automatically?

 

Thanks, @wynhopkins - this latest version solved the issue.

That looks like a frowny face with screen shot or Contact Support issue at support.powerbi.com. I haven't quite figured out how to speak GUID yet. 🙂
