  • Validate Dataflow References:

    • Open the dataflow in Power BI Service.
    • Ensure that all data sources and linked dataflows are correctly referenced and accessible.

  • Check and Update Credentials:

    • Go to Settings > Dataflows in your Power BI workspace.
    • Ensure credentials for each data source are up to date and valid.

  • Simplify the Dataflow:

    • Open the dataflow and simplify it by removing some transformations.
    • Save and refresh the dataflow after each change to identify which step is causing the issue.

  • Review Refresh History:

    • Go to the dataflow in Power BI Service.
    • Click on More options (...) and select Refresh history.
    • Review the error details provided.

  • Ensure Data Source Compatibility:

    • If using Direct Query, ensure your data source supports Direct Query and that you’re not hitting any limitations.
