Data Flow refresh failing
I have created a dataflow, that uses .csv files stored in Azure Blob Storage. There are around 50 csv files and I am combining them as I want to union the contents of the file. In the Transform Data window this seems to work fine and in the final step the unioned data is getting previewed. But when I am running the refresh, the refresh fails.
In the error, I am getting only this -
| Error: Request ID: a683e9e7-922c-292a-3e65-c7506837179a Activity ID: 4bc14595-b8ec-4032-b2ff-82186c04eec7 |

Hi ajaymanshani
The refresh failure may be due to the following reasons:
- Ensure all CSVs have the same columns and data types.
- Split large files and test again.
- Check Power BI’s access to Azure Blob Storage.
- Use the Activity ID to find detailed error logs.
- Optimize transformations for better performance.

Hi, ajaymanshani
Maybe you can try disabling Enable Load on all source entities in Power Query, just leave it enabled for the final merged table.
