Warning Observed in Power BI Service Refresh History - Refresh completed with warnings
Hi 321shekhar,
This issue usually happens due to non-fatal semantic model or DAX validation warnings that occur during the Query Cache phase after a dataset refresh completes successfully. According to Microsoft documentation, refreshes can finish with warnings if DAX expressions or model objects reference invalid or renamed columns or tables, though reports may still work as expected.

Post March, it has been observed that all production‑published Power BI reports are refreshing with the warning message “Refresh completed with warnings.” There are no errors in the reports, and the report front end is functioning as expected with no visible issues.
Has anyone encountered this before or been able to fix it? Any advice or guidance would be highly appreciated.
Hi 321shekhar ,
This usually could be from below:
Schema drift – where a column or datatype changes upstream and Power BI Service just adjusts quietly
Query folding breaking – with M logic, one step fails folding and the rest runs locally, which triggers this
Source inconsistencies – APIs or incremental loads sometimes return slightly uneven data (especially with late-arriving records)
Gateway issues – intermittent retries, some connectivity glitches
What we can possible check to avoid this:
Open in Power BI Desktop and validate query folding
Double-check if anything changed upstream (schema/datatype)
If incremental refresh is there, just make sure partitions are behaving as expected
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Pallavi
