Dynamic SQL Query Works on Desktop, Fails to Refresh Once Published

I'm receiving the following error when attempting to refresh my dashboard online:

 

Data source error{"error":{"code":"DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_MashupDataAccessError","pbi.error":{"code":"DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_MashupDataAccessError","parameters":{},"details":[{"code":"DM_ErrorDetailNameCode_UnderlyingErrorCode","detail":{"type":1,"value":"-2147467259"}},{"code":"DM_ErrorDetailNameCode_UnderlyingErrorMessage","detail":{"type":1,"value":"[Unable to combine data] Section1/Open Order SAP Data/Changed Type references other queries or steps, so it may not directly access a data source. Please rebuild this data combination."}},{"code":"DM_ErrorDetailNameCode_UnderlyingHResult","detail":{"type":1,"value":"-2147467259"}},{"code":"Microsoft.Data.Mashup.MashupSecurityException.DataSources","detail":{"type":1,"value":"[{\"kind\":\"SQL\",\"path\":\"..."}]"}},{"code":"Microsoft.Data.Mashup.MashupSecurityException.Reason","detail":{"type":1,"value":"PrivacyError"}}],"exceptionCulprit":1}}} Table: Open Order SAP Data.

 

I need to query SQL to acquire data related to specific orders found in an Excel spreadsheet. This works fine in Power Query using Power BI desktop. However after publishing the dashboard, it is not able to refresh. All data source privacy levels are set to None. How can this be fixed? Currently my dataflow is:

  1. Get the list of orders from Excel spreadsheet.
  2. Convert list to a comma-separated string, e.g. "123, 124, 125"
  3. Use the comma-separated string in the predicate of the SQL Server query using Import mode.
  4. Combine SQL data with existing data for visualizations.

Hi @beeper 

 

What happens if you change the data sources to be Organizational?

 

And if that still fails you might have to put both of the Power Query details into a single table?





Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!

Changing the data source privacy levels to Organizational still results in the same error. Can you expand on putting them in the same Power Query table? Do you mean having everything done in one single query? I'm not sure I can do that as I'm getting data from several different files on Sharepoint and performing joins on them with data from SQL.
