Data Refresh Error "pbi.error"

My dashboard hasn't updated and I believe it's because of trouble with one of my data sets, but I am not sure how to find out which data source I need to fix.  Here is the error message I get:

 

 

I'm had someone develop the dashboard for me and am trying to learn how to resolve issues on my own.  Can anyone suggest where I might begin to look for a self-help solution for this?

    Check in your PBIX for the column name "Country_1", it is missing I believe. correct it and upload it again, refresh and check.

    Hi Anonymous 

    Agreed with Fowmy, if your pbix and dataset in power bi service have some columns, but these columns in data source are deleted, then refresh in power bi service may throw out an error.

    Please follow advide by drewsvc.

    If you have any problem, feel free to ask us.

    Hi Anonymous 

    If you are still not able to refresh, check once the below steps:

     

    --Go to the workspace

    --Go to the datasets setting

    --see if somebody else has created the datasets and requires to transfer the ownereship on the data.

     

    Please let me know if above solves the problem.

      Thank you for sharing this, I took some time to look through my .pbix file and the associated steps mentioned and realized that the data source had been completely wiped somehow.  So, this part of  the problem has been solved but on to the next.  

       

      Thank you for the help!
