For anyone who is still having this issue, I found the reason for the error to be the "Privacy level" setting in Power BI service. You need to make sure that all your connections where you are appending or merging data have the same privacy level.
This also explain why it would work in Power BI Desktop and not in Power BI Service as they can have different settings.
Every time I have this error, I check the privacy level of all the credentails and I find that in one of the setting have either changed or not set to begin with
Hope this helps others

Where are you creating this tabel / where is saved? In Power BI or do you create a local tabel and save it On SharePoint?

Well this is not a solution of the problem. This is "going around the problem"
The issue still exists.

I ran into this issue aswell, the excel file I connected with uses certain formatting.
Using a export to a CSV file instead of Excel solved this issue for me.
