Dataflows - "Information is needed in order to combine data" error
- 3 years ago
To follow up on this, I tried connecting to the dataflow through desktop, where the data sources were seperate
and then aligning the security levels.
This allowed for a manual refresh, once I published the pbix, the datalflow no longer showed a refresh error and schedules can be set for both.
I note that in the Service, only a single data source is shown,which is presumably what caused the initial error, I'm not sure if this is by design or not, but would be interested if anyone else has experienced similar.
Hey JonPBNES ,
Is the setting set to "none" in the desktop file as well? And, are you using the same userid in both desktop and service? Are you using the gateway?
I am also wondering if making it "organization" and not "none" in both would perhaps fix this as well.

Hi collinq, thanks for quick response there's no desktop file, as this was using "enter data" in the dataflow. The settings only allow security levels to be set for the SharePoint file, which is where I suspect we're having the issue.
