Datamart SQL query - Evaluation was canceled.

I have created a datamart using PBI Dataflow as my source (imported 3-4 tables). I'm using the SQL query window to run a few queries and observe the output, however, for 1 query I'm getting the error - "Evaluation was canceled". How can this be solved?image.png

Hi @yk98 ,

This may cause by the datasize is too large for dataflow to implement. Please refer to the similar case:Dataflows - Evaluation was canceled - Microsoft Power BI Community

Hi @yk98 ,

Please have a try.

1. Access the FILE ribbon from the PBI Desktop

2. Choose Options and settings > Options

3. Data Load > Clear Cache 

 

Or 

 

1) Go to Data Source settings -> Data source in current file -> Clear all premissions;


 2) Go to Global permissions -> Clear all premissions;

 

 3) Connect again to the source of your data; 

 

4) Try to refresh all and go to transform data to check if the error still appear.

 

After this  close all PBIs and do a restart .  Hope this provides some relief .

 

I have also found a similar post, please refer to it to see if it helps you.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Are any of these solutions relevant to PBI Service DataMarts?? Because I can't find any options to change data source settings there. Your solution seems to be for PBI Desktop specifically. Is there anything for PBI Service> DataMarts?

 

Regards,

Yash.
