Data Source Error when refreshing data in Power BI Service
Hi tadeom0,
Thank you for your follow-up.
To address the issue you're encountering, you can consider merging the tables directly in SQL Server instead of doing it in Power BI. This can be achieved by creating a new table in SQL Server that combines the data from both the SQL Server database and the Excel file. This approach can help avoid the refresh error in Power BI Service.If you need further assistance or have any more questions, feel free to ask. If this solution works for you, please mark it as accepted and give it a "Kudos" so other members can benefit from it.
Thank you.
I asked the admin of the sql server database and he mentioned that if I merge tables from sql server database to an excel file table, this will cause the error message when you refresh it in power bi service. Is any alternative that I can use to merge excel file tables to sql server database?
