Hey all,
In PBI workspace my organization encountered the following issue:
scheduled and manual refreshes of Live Connection (Analysis Service Tabular models) datasets fail with unexpected error.
"Last refresh" shows past dates for for dataset and report, but the actual data in report is updated with today's data:
We can't understand why it will show "Refreshed" from August, but the report itself will actually have updated current data from today.
The error simply states "Unknown error, please contact administrator". Using West Europe server.
We have "Scheduled Cache Refresh" every hour enabled for dataset.
Any assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks!
