I'm also having this exact error. This error started to manifest itself on 05 April 2019 for me. This is occouring on multiple reports and can be created on demand.
I have attempted the following in trying to resolve;
- Used the Merge Queries as New option rather than Merge Queries.
- Have the dataflow table load into memory by checking Enable Load option within Power Query Editor.
- Rebuilt the Dataflows.
- Rebuilt the report in the latest version of PBI Desktop (2.67.5404.981 64-bit (March 2019)).
- Confirmed the gateway is on the latest version (3000.2.52 (march 2019 release 2)).
- Removed the merge (obviously this works but is an unacceptable solution as I need that data merged).
- Re-entered credentials for the dataflow in PBI Desktop and on the Service.
Error as taken from PBI Service;

Microsoft Support team have confirmed this is a bug according to a reply on a support team I've opened. Am supposed to get into remote session with them to evaluate the issue.
I will update this thread as soon as I get further information

I had the same issue while taking data source from dataflows. Update Gateway and the problem is resolved.
- mark_carlisle7 years agoAdvocate IVWe're on the March R2 version but I've noticed that the April version is out today so I'll update tomorrow. Could you confirm if this is the version you are on?
