Hi
I am getting this "Couldn't retrieve the data for this visual. Please try again later" error on a SQL server 2008r2. We are trying to develop a report for a customer but after installing the latest power bi (today 10th Oct) and I do a test to see if it will work: I import a basic 2 column (6 row) Excel table with just numbers in one column and text in the other, I get no problems when getting the data in, the table view shows you all the data, but when you start building the dashboard you get the big black dreaded X, saying it can't display the visual. I have tried connecting to different sources by the way, its not a source issue. I am attaching the error log because it shows more about the environment on which we are building this for the customer/client.
