Dataset refresh failed due to primary key violation

Hi All,

I'm getting this issue please kindly guide me through.

 

Column 'Email' in Table 'Weekly Engagement Survey (Weeks 1-8)' contains a duplicate value and this is not allowed for columns on the one side of a many-to-one relationship or for columns that are used as the primary key of a table.

 

Thank you.
