Power BI failing to refresh

Recently, I got an error message when refreshing a report in the cloud as below:

This refresh was fine before. In addition, I try to refresh locally, and no error is reported.  Anyone knows how to solve this problem. Any advice would be appreciated.

For such questions, you are advised to verify the following points.

  • Make sure that the privacy level for both data sources is compatible (Public/Public or Organizational/Organizational)
  • Disable the firewall through the "Fast Combine" option.
