I have a report that won't refresh on service. I get the following:
Information is needed in order to combine data;Information about a data source is required.. The exception was raised by the IDbCommand interface. Table: NPS
The pbix file refreshes normaly on desktop. The table NPS is a merge that I did on Power Query. The sources are SQL Server query and a xlsx stored on a blob container.
Anyone?
Hi @gmaciel
It seems you may install the gateway and configuring scheduled refresh to refresh data in service.

I don't think that's the point. This specific report had scheduled refresehs that were working fine. I also have other reports refreshing normaly on the same workspace.
