Issue

When refreshing a report, the following error message is displayed:

  • "Error running report: There was an internal error while processing the request"

Cause

The report has become unresponsive during the refresh process due to filters applied in the report's Data tab.

Solution

To resolve this issue, remove any filters from the Data tab:

  1. Open the report and navigate to the Data tab.
  2. Remove any applied filters.
  3. Click Refresh Report Data in the FYI drawer. Refer to Opening, Editing and Finishing Editing Reports.

Once the report has refreshed successfully, apply filtering using the pivot table on the Report tab. Filtering within the pivot table allows the report to refresh correctly while still displaying the required data.
