Processing error: Information is needed in order to combine data erro

[Anonymous]

Hi All: 

Long time listener, first time caller. I have a dataset that is connected (import) to a dataflow. All the dataset data is Odata feeds. I have been, without fail, getting the error: "Processing error: Information is needed in order to combine data" when trying scheduled refreshes. 

Any idea on where I should start looking to solve this?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Would you please try to  go to Manage Gateways, ensure Privacy Level for these two data sources is the same public . Then refresh the dataset again. 

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

Hi @Anonymous 

This would indicate an issue with the Privacy settings.

Where ever you are combining your data go into the settings and change the privacy settings to None on each data source and see if that resolves your issue.

Both data sources would need to have the same privacy settings enabled.

If it does you can then look at the privacy settings with the link below on what each privacy setting does.
