Data / model

Power BI data / model refresh errors

Data and model errors happen when the semantic model's queries or transformations fail while the engine processes the data, such as type mismatches, mashup or M errors, or a failed partition.

The 5 catalogued errors in this category, each with its plain-English cause and fix:

• ModelRefresh_ShortMessage_ProcessingErrorA generic processing error while the engine processes a table or partition; the nested errorDescription holds the real 0x cause.
• 0xC112001CExpression.Error / "the command has been canceled": one partition's query failed and the transaction canceled the rest.
• Container exited unexpectedly with code 0x0000DEADThe mashup / processing container terminated unexpectedly (exit code 0x0000DEAD).
• Processing error: Type MismatchAn M-script data-type mismatch during processing (often a stale Power BI Desktop version).
• Circular dependency in a calculated table (SummarizeColumns)SummarizeColumns inside CalculateTable creates a circular dependency (a Sept-2024 behavior change).
