Power BI Service query reference relationship error

[FatemaRangwala]

Hi PowerBI Community,

I am facing some weird error in powerbi service which is not shown up in powerbi desktop.

While selecting the value from the district slicer in power bi service it throws the below error which is not visible in powerbi desktop:

Error fetching data for this visual:

The query referenced a relationship between '<oii>Bank</oii>'[<oii>SD</oii>] and '<oii>SD</oii>'[<oii>SD</oii>], which depends on a column that is not in a valid state.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks in advance!

In Power BI Desktop, check Bank[SD] and SD[SD] for:

• Nulls → Replace or remove them
• Data type mismatch → Ensure both are the same (e.g., text)

Check if RLS roles are active and unintentionally filtering the SD table.

Republish the report after fixing.

Hi Har**bleep**ha,

Issue was resolved when I replaced blank values with NA but when again the dataset was refreshed issue was there again and in the dataset 1 table is in the directquery mode.

Thanks,

Fatema

Hi @FatemaRangwala,
Thank you for follow up

Sometimes older versions can cause unexpected issues. You can download the latest version from the   Microsoft Power Bi Desktop or The Microsoft Store 

Open Power BI Desktop, go to File > Options and settings > Options, then under Global > Data Load, click on Clear Cache.

If you had connected to the data earlier with different or expired credentials, it may cause problems. Go to File > Options and settings > Data source settings, then click on Clear Permissions.
