Dataflow keeps failing refresh

[JWilczewski]

I have been trying to set up a dataflow and the table loads fine in the preview but it keeps failing in the refresh state.

This is the error I received: Error: Request ID: a464ff05-4f74-3723-1dbc-5d5a3a306fbd Activity ID: f0c80816-2831-4f7d-8518-94f28dd4a6ed

Thanks for the reply from GilbertQ and PDDP.

Hi @JWilczewski ,

You can think about things in terms of the following, including this scenario PPDDP mentioned.

Try to check the refresh failure history how a dataflow refresh operation performs, and review the Refresh History for the dataflow by navigating to Dataflow > Settings > Refresh History. 

The metrics for refreshing historical information can be viewed at this link:Understand and optimize dataflows refresh - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

I have started to see this too.  I believe the issues I am running into result from using a Power BI Pro workspace with data flows that combine multiple sources tables (merges or appending tables).
