    Hi AliT ,

    I can get the same error message when I connect to dataset with the version 2.88.XXX.Recently, the new version(Version: 2.90.782.0 64-bit (February 2021)) has been published, please try to upgrade the version of your Power BI Desktop to latest one and check whether the problem still persist. I just test it with latest version, it works in my side...

    Best Regards

is this on a shared capacity or on Premium?

Thanks for your response lbendlin, we are not on premium. To be more detailed,  we use the power BI solution using Power BI Pro licenses.  i have created many workspaces, and apps from these workspaces, then I shared the apps with the users from our organization. Since I have the same datasets that are consumed by more than one report in different workspace, i wanted to use live update so i can read the dataset from the DW one time, and then have the various reports in different workspaces connect to it.  I hope my answer is clear enough. Thanks again.
