I have a dashboard scheduled to refresh daily, but each time I get an error that says:Column in Table contains blank values and this is not allowed for columns on the one side of many-to-one relatioship for coulmns that are used as the primary key of a table.I went to this table and edited the query to Remove Blank Rows, but I still get the error every time I try to refresh the data.

How can I fix the power BI error blank values?

1. Delete Invalid Relationship Between Data Sets

  • At times Power BI may automatically create relationships between the queries that are being used to drive the data in the reports. Here is how to fix this.
  • Launch Power BI Service.
  • Go into Manage Relationships.
  • Make sure that there is a relationship listed.
  • Now check all the Form and To relationship that is available in the Active section.
  • You need to delete any invalid From and To relationships between separate data sets.
  • If you have two very different queries pulling data from separate source identical columns names then Power BI will generate a relationship between them which would be invalid. The error should resolve after you have deleted the invalid relationship.

2. Disable Include Relationship Columns Option

  • In the window where you enter the server name, click on Advanced Options.
  • Now uncheck Include Relationships columns option.
  • Now check if the error occurs again as it should stop Power BI from identifying related columns resulting in the error.

3. Other Solutions to Try

  • Try to clean the trailing and leading spaces in your data in PQ Transformation.

  • On Power BI Desktop, go to File > Options. Click on Settings and Options. Now uncheck all the options under Relationships.

  • Try to edit the load query and replace the blanks with some useful info such as document creation date or time etc.

  • Go to the table that is referenced in the error message and try to sort your column in ascending/descending order.

  • Remove and recreate the query. As a last resort, you can try to create and build a new query after deleting the older one.
