Dataflow Privacy Settings Proble? Please help

Hey Guys!

My Dataflow suddenly doesnt refresh anymore, I didnt change anything but suddenly it shows this error message:

Error: Privacy settings don't allow the combining of data from multiple sources in the same query. \n\r To refresh this dataflow you can either edit the queries or you can allow combining data from multiple sources in the Edit queries Options settings. Request ID: 39983b96-1829-6489-3bf5-4073aff0c2e2 Activity ID: 266cb650-57e1-4fab-b8ce-3f5c0e64833b



My Privacy Settings are already on "allow combining data from multiple sources", this doesnt help.


Thanks,

 

cheers,


Janik

    Alright, I found the solution:

    There was some problem somewhere in an unloaded entity, I did not get an error message or anything.

    It's really weird, that I get the error message of privacy settings while there was just something wrong with the data.

    Hi  Anonymous ,

     

    Whether you have allowed " Combine data according to your Privacy Level settings for each source"?When this option is selected, data will be combined according to your Privacy Levels setting. Merging data across Privacy isolation zones will result in some data buffering.

    Here is the reference.

    Best Regards,

      But this is a problem of Power Bi Desktop, isnt it?

      I have the problem in Power Bi Service, it shouldnt be able to be solved in power bi desktop, right?

        in power bi service, i checked "allow combining data from multiple sources" via home-option-project options & it seems to work.
