The error message "retrieving data. wait a few seconds and try to cut or copy again." suggests a temporary data retrieval or loading problem, often occurring when data is being accessed or processed. Common reasons and solutions for such data retrieval errors include:

  • Server or network issues causing data source unavailability, such as HTTP 503 errors from SharePoint or other servers.
  • Corrupted or interrupted queries causing the data to be read incorrectly (e.g., binary data instead of text).
  • Permissions or login problems affecting access to data sources.
  • Temporary glitches with software or systems managing the data, requiring restarts or retries.
  • For application-specific errors (like games or reports), deleting certain cache or data files may help.

Typically, waiting a few seconds and retrying the action resolves transient issues. If persistent, verifying network/server status, checking data source accessibility and permissions, and reviewing logs or error messages can help identify the specific cause and fix it. If this is happening in a particular system or application, more details can help to pinpoint a tailored solution. For example, Power BI queries encountering this may be due to server errors, while game-related errors might require file deletions or reinstallations.
