It would be helpful to be able to set up a distribution list of those to send refresh failure notifications to. Currently, only the owner receives an email, but we have several administrators that require notification when certain reports fail.

RE: Send Refresh Failure Notifications to Distribution List

When a calculation error exists somewhere in the model, a refresh can't be performed. Suggestions: (a) Check calculations first before refreshing tables to speed up the failure getting returned. (b) Improve error messages so they are much more clear - currently they are very generic. (c) Show a warning indicator at table level if any column has an error, which will save time from expanding every single table to hunt for issues.
