Dataflows always fail to refresh due to "internal error"

Hello everyone,

 

I cannot seem to get a single dataflow to work. Also that Dataflow that creats just a static table without connecting to a data source failed. The Error looks like:

 

Internal error Request ID: 65ea0fd8-9eec-4d03-b6ee-38a200f0e852 Activity ID: 59a40ca6-48e6-448c-9204-cbdb2a62260e

 

where Activity ID an d Request ID depends on the choosen Dataflow.

 

Suggestions appreciated.

I am in the same boat. Someone suggested to use another account that does not require MFA. This does not appear to be the case in my situation. Anyone else solved this problem? Error message is below. I removed the id # 

 

An internal error occurred... RootActivityId  = <id #> = {"error":{"code":"AdalMultiFactorAuthRequiredErrorCode" "pbi.error":{"code":"AdalMultiFactorAuthRequiredErrorCode"

I'm having a similar issue, and have submitted a support ticket with Microsoft, who are investigating.
