Hi - Is anyone else experiencing this issue:
Our data is in the North Central US (Illinois) Data Center and since Monday September 6th, our users have been unable to interact (Use a slicer or expand / collapse a Pivot Table) with our Excel Online files in Power BI. These were brought in via the Power BI App > Get Data > OneDrive for Business > Excel Workbook > "Connect" experience, so they use Excel Online. The report renders fine, tabs are navigable, but interaction with any element that uses Power Pivot / Data Model as it's data source produces this error:
Excel Online
Sorry, something went wrong.
Could you please try that again?
Give Feedback

I know there are some performance issues with that Data Center on slow report updating, but no note about Excel Online. The issue occurs with files ranging from 1 MB to 225 MB has has been essentially flawless since early this year. We have also noted that this affects Excel Online Files with Power Pivot Data Model outside of the Power BI Service (SharePoint / SharePoint Online)
I have opened a ticket with Microsoft, but as usual, it is excrutiatingly painful to explain this to technician after technician as most have a very poor understanding of the product in general.
*Note that we still use this Excel Online experience to overcome key limitations of the Power BI Matrix Visualization
