Execution Timeout Expired. Why?

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.
