Same Issue here since Monday, 3 excel sheets all in sharepoint online. Working for months. Now flags up as issue combining data. Looked inside the transform data and its Merging the data. Privacy all the same across the files 'Organizational'. Even tried to ignore privacy option but still fails

I have checked and it looks like 60% of my issues are resolved when its sharepoint document merging a sharepoint document. But it still shows the same error if its a dataflow merging with data a sharepoint Document. I got round it by making both dataflows or both Sharepoint folder docs. But I have quite a few to resolve and we never had an issue with combining two cloud based data sources before.

Hi @Mohammadwazeri & @SandeshN 
My suggetion would be try the everything here and if it's still not working create a support ticket and write what you have already tried.
