Hi @BJHF ,
Could it be an issue with the data source credentials? Perhaps you can check whether the credentials for the data source used by the report are correct. If the data source credentials are invalid, you will not be able to connect to the data source to get data.
If there is no problem with your data source credentials, maybe someone have changed the data source recently? Please check if any users have recently changed the content of the data source and destroyed the original structure of the Dataverse used by the report? This can also happen if the data source structure is corrupted or changed.
Best Regards,
Dino Tao
