Hello,
I'm with the error below in some data streams:
"Error: We encountered an error while performing the refresh. Please try again. If the issue persists contact Support. Request ID: 5384c37c-d005-488a-9cb7-b9c71a14299a Activity ID: 5157ab15-30d0-4601-b1cb-0293e6ec76bf".
I did the update manually and it's OK, but I need to understand what might be going on.
Att,
Bruno.
The error occurred again today, the error message is: "Error: We encountered an error while performing the refresh. Please try again. If the issue persists contact Support. Request ID: dbfa1a78-8912-4b34-9844-f38f3e76c4a4 Activity ID: bba4e9f3-01f9-47ae-8380-9604eb398d08"
Hey @bruno7413 ,
Well, the error message was not as helpful as I had hoped. If you check all of your columns and don't see anything obvious then I would submit a ticket because Microsoft can look up those id's and tell you what is going on.

Hi @collinq,
The error is in updating the dataflow, the error message that presents is this below:

Hi @bruno7413 ,
Did you encounter that error in the Dataflow or in a connection TO the Dataflow? I am assuming that it is withing the dataflow. If so, go to the dataflow and look at the failure (you will ahve to download the failure file) and there is a column in the output that usually gives a fairly decent reason along with the guids. That should guide you to the main issue.
