Dataflow failure

This morning, dataflows sourced from an Azure SQL database failed to refresh. The error message was that SELECT permission was denied on the object <object> database <database> schema <schema>. When I navigated to the gateway data source, the authentication type was OAuth2. Previously, the authentication type was Basic. Something caused the authentication type to change to OAuth2. When I changed it back to Basic and re-entered credentials, it refreshed successfully.

 

This issue has been resolved, but I wanted to alert Microsoft and the community to this issue and solution.

"There was a problem refreshing the dataflow, the dataflow definition contained errors. Please fix the problem and try again. Additional information: Unexpected exception, Message: <pi>Expression.Error: Token Comma expected.</pi>"

 

Would appreciate your help. Thanks

@rpuri,

 

This is a common error that occurs when a comma is missing in the M code. Verify that each step is separated by a comma. Also, verify that functions with multiple arguments have the appropriate number of commas.
