Hi F01536
Thank you for the update. As previously mentioned, we recommend submitting your request to the Power BI Ideas Forum (https://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/). If the idea receives significant support from users, Microsoft may consider implementing a tenant-level setting that allows administrators to control whether table names are included in failure notifications.

Hi F01536
Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.
We understand your concern, and it is indeed frustrating. Microsoft removing table names from refresh-failure emails makes troubleshooting much slower for dataset owners. Although the exact Microsoft change or the internal product flag that caused this has not been publicly detailed, this behavior was introduced to align with certain security and compliance standards.
As a workaround, you can try the following steps:
1. Use Power BI REST API or Admin Portal for Detailed Error Logs
Navigate to the Power BI Service → Dataset → Settings → Refresh History, and download the error log Excel file, which includes table-level error details. Alternatively, you can use the Power BI REST API to automate the retrieval of refresh error logs, providing full metadata and visibility into the affected tables.
Another effective option is to create a Power Automate flow that triggers on refresh failure using the Power BI connector. Within the flow, use the Admin API to extract detailed error logs, including specific table names, and configure it to send customized email notifications to dataset owners and designated recipients (CC).
We recommend submitting your request on the Power BI Ideas Forum ( https://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/).If many users upvote the idea, Microsoft is more likely to reconsider this change and introduce a tenant-level setting allowing admins to control whether table names appear in failure notifications.
I hope this information is helpful. . If you have any further questions, please let us know. we can assist you further.
