Refresh Datasource Issue

Hello: So I have published some files from Power BI Desktop to Power BI/0365. I entered my credentials, etc and for the last two days, was able to schedule the datasource(s) to refresh automatically. Nothing has changed within my .pbix file. This morning, I checked the dashboard and saw that nothing was refreshed. I manually tried refreshing the datasource, and it errors out.

 

One of the error messages that are returned is that it says the operation was cancelled by the user. However, I did not cancel the operation, so not sure why it says that.

 

I'm able to refresh the data/data source within Power BI Desktop, but again, it errors out when publishing.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks

Hi There

 

i am having the same issue with my datasource not being able to refresh. i get this error:

Cluster URI:WABI-NORTH-EUROPE-redirect.analysis.windows.net

how long did the refresh run before the error ?  Could be a timeout

do you have connections that use a gateway ?  Was the gateway 'down' during the refresh

i received this 'canceled by the user' only once, the day after (until now) the refresh worked again. 

 

Error messages are not very clear and I also had many problems with that before.  I raised an issue/question to give more detailed error info. 

 

Hello -yesterday the refresh would run for like anywhere between 5 and 10 seconds (with no errors). No connections that use a gateway by the way. I've been browsing the forum and have read that others have experienced similar issues. Interesting thing was that i created a 'test' pbix file (literally, just a pull from an excel file that has 3 values), and published it. I get the same error when refreshing that datasource too. Maybe it's an issue with Power BI service itself

anyone with a solution?
