Processing error: Information is needed in order to combine data
Hi,
I'm having issues with refreshing my PowerBI data in service. The Scheduled refresh fails and proves the message:
"Processing error: Information is needed in order to combine data".
I use OData feed to get data. The report worked fine until i added a combine to my Power Query editor. Basically i get 2 Odata feed's and combine them in the Query Editor. The refresh works when i download the .pbix file from PowerBI Service and refresh it on Desktop. What is the issue here?

Hello CarlsBerg999
Please download the report and open it in the Power BI desktop, go to Query Editor, refresh data to see if any message pops out. Also please go to the Data Source Settings, click on Edit Permission for these two data sources, ensure both privacy level is Organizational.
Then republish the report to Power BI service, go to Manage Gateways, ensure Privacy Level for these two data sources is Organizational as well. Then refresh the dataset again.
