Dynamic data source error in service but not in Desktop data source settings

I am running into a strange issue. connecting to a SharePoint Online list using the connector of the same name.
As a test I created a new report, added the SharePoint Online connection, selected a list and saved.
In desktop the list shows its data and the data source settings in the report does not show any warning that the data source is dynamic. The source in the SharePoint Online List with v2.0 implimentation.

No visuals in the report just the data connection. Saved and published.

Went to the service and clicked reshesh and I get an error...

Something went wrong

This dataset includes a dynamic data source. Since dynamic data sources aren't refreshed in the Power BI service, this dataset won't be refreshed. Learn more: https://aka.ms/dynamic-data-sources.

I have server other reports that use SharePoint lists and they do not have this issue.

Anyone else having this issue and if so is there a solution?

 

Thanks,

Chuck

I found the issue.
There was a funtion I create to do some testing with that even though I set it to not load or refresh, its existance in the dataset was enough to cause the service to loose its mind. Once I deleted it all worked as it should
