Error source privacy setting

Hey,

 

when my report gets automatically refreshed at night I get this error: 

Information is needed in order to combine data. Please specify a privacy level for each data source.;Information about a data source is required.. The exception was raised by the IDbCommand interface. Table: Daten - Airtable 

 

I already chose the same privacy setting for all sources in this report. It seems like a bug. Can anyone help? I get this error with every report which has this airtable source included.

 

Looking forward to get some help

Hi @SarahAlsterspre , Try ignoring privacy level settings

Hey, I also tried this now and it didnt work

@SarahAlsterspre 

1. In Power BI Desktop, Go to Transform Data

2. In the power query view select the datasource settings and clear permissions for all the tables. 
3. Click Refresh to refresh all the tables

4. Now you will be prompted to map the privacy settings again. Map all the tables to the same privacy settings 

 

Let me know if those steps resolved your isssue.
