Data Refresh Fails when Uploaded from Desktop to Service

Hi MikeGanem3,

Please consider implementing the insights shared by Heruy. If they prove useful, kindly accept the answer. If not, please provide further details. Thank you Heruy, for your valuable input and kind words. Also, please go through the below alternative workarounds that may resolve the issue:

In Power BI Service, go to the workspace with the dataset, then navigate to Settings > Datasets. Ensure all data source credentials are correct and up to date. Update any missing or incorrect credentials and try refreshing again.

Use the web URL for the OneDrive file instead of the local file path. This helps avoid local path issues. Open your Power BI Desktop report, go to Transform Data > Data Source Settings, click Change Source, and enter the web URL.

If you are utilizing a gateway, please ensure it is correctly configured and operational. Navigate to Manage Connections and Gateways in the Power BI Service to verify the gateway settings. Clearing the cache in Power BI Desktop can sometimes resolve data refresh issues. Go to File > Options and settings > Options > Data Load and select Clear cache. Recreating the report from scratch might also help identify issues with the original file.

Kindly refer the below following link for better understanding:
