Query contains unsupported function. Function name: Resource.Access in Power BI setting

we get a problem like this:

 

"You can't schedule refresh for this dataset because the following data sources currently don't support refresh:

Discover Data Sources

Query contains unsupported function. Function name: Resource.Access".

 

As a result, schedule and gateway options cannot be seen in power bi settings, and cannot create scheduler. even if i do a manual refresh, it will fail at the same time.

 

"Data source error: Unable to refresh the model (id=4492539) because it references an unsupported data source."

 

I can only refresh on pbix desktop only.

please help regarding this problem.

 

notes :

-We use datasource COUCHBASE (CB), sqlserver, greenplum (GP) and excel online. 

-Attached is an error screen capture in the settings section, and an error after manually refreshingrefresh manual.pngerror.PNG

I've found where the problem is, as well as the solution.

first, please check every single data source that you use.
you can check this link : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/service-admin-troubleshoot-unsupported-data-...

then check your datasource, is it registered in this list: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/power-bi-data-sources


if you can't find the datasource you are using, it means the datasource is no longer usable.

 

for my case i use CdataCouchbase.

the solution for my condition, I can change it from CdataCouchbase to use ODBC, because ODBC is still registered in Datasource PBI list.

replace it like this:
from this :
= CdataCouchbase.DataSource("dnsName", null, [Query="<query>"])


to this :
= Odbc.Query("dsn=dnsName", "<query>")

i hope this can help. thx.
