Changes in TE3 are not saved in PBI Desktop despite using the Save button etc.

Description

Hello, I am sure this has been asked before but...

Quite often the updates that I make in TE3 are not saved in PBI Desktop - I have been pushing hard on the synchronization icon.

Very often it just stops working (saving) and I am not aware if the changes have been saved in PBI.

Could someone advise what I could do here?

Thanks.

This is an issue on the Power BI Desktop side. As far as we can tell, it happens when the XMLA payload reaches a certain size (typically when the model contains many objects). You can try the workaround discussed here.

An alternative solution is to add a dummy table to your model, or just use a table that doesn't contain a lot of data / is quick to refresh. Then, every time after you hit "Save" in Tabular Editor, switch over to Power BI Desktop, and refresh that table. This should make the field list in Power BI Desktop update, so that you can see any changes made from Tabular Editor.
