My report refreshes fine on PBi Desktop, and get published to the service fine. Only when I manually trigger a refresh does it give me the above error.
Is my only resort to just rebuild from scratch and hope I don't replicate whatever is causing the corruption?

Hi @gzimmer ,
According to my research, this issue can be caused by multiple reasons, you can have a check:
Core excel > 30MB
Excel has password
Permission issue
Corrupted model
Wrong type, error format, value issue, etc.
If you still have a problem, you can try these steps to find if they can be useful:
1. Please delete your desktop firstly.
2. Delete the Cache and CEF folders in the paths as below.
C:\Users\username\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop Store App
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop
3. Reinstall your Power BI desktop and try again.
Best Regards,
