Issues connecting to dataset
When I download a report (my own or created by another user) I am suddenly getting the option to download a copy of the report and data, or a copy of the report with a live connection to data online.
When selecting the first option I am able to see the report as normal but when trying to transform I get this:
When selecting the option with the live connection I am getting this error message:
All of the reports that are now giving me this option are all connected to the same tabular model, which I have permission to access and can access correctly when opening a existing or new report. I have downloaded them previously without issue as well.
I am also having an issue with reports that are saved on my drive, that this morning worked fine. If they have a live connection I can no longet access the data and get the add model pop up as above. For ones that have multiple data sources and therefore don't have a live connection to our tab mod, I have some that work fine and some that don't. I have had other users test their reports and they are getting the same issues.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi MeganE1
I would first suggest always making sure you have got the PBIX stored locally before uploading to the PBI Service. This ensures that you always have the original version of the PBIX.
With regards to your challenges are you connecting to a PBI Service dataset or a Tabular model on-premise or in Azure Analysis Services?
