Data Flow refresh failing with Error : Cannot acquire lock for model

Hi Anonymous ,

1. Refer to this:

https://ssbipolar.com/2019/06/21/quick-tip-restricting-access-to-linked-entities-in-power-bi-dataflows/ 

If the Linked Entity and Calculated Entity are in the same dataflow then the data refresh still occurs. Unchecking "Enable Load" will only hide it from outside the dataflow, so another dataflow cannot use it.

2. When you configure a time for scheduled refresh, there can be a delay of up to one hour before it begins.

3. This is another problem based on the first question, and if there is a limit, you will fail to refresh.

If the problem persists, you could try to create a support ticket. If you have a Pro account it is free.
