Hi,
i have a report that can't refresh. The error is:
error code: -2147467259
error message: Microsoft SQL: Execution Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
What could be the cause?
Query too complex?
Thank you 🙂
Hi @giuliapiazza94 ,
Please try to set the timeout time for this connection when you connect to SQL Server Database with Power BI Desktop.
Best regards,
