Refresh Error

I refreshed a dashboard using Desktop, and it worked as expected.  I upload to Service and need to refresh again.  I am getting this error:  

Column 'ID' in Table 'Data' contains blank values and this is not allowed for columns on the one side of a many-to-one relationship or for columns that are used as the primary key of a table. (ID (4496)). Table: Data.

 

What does this mean and how can I fix it?  Need detailed steps on how to fix.

 

Thanks in advance

Thank you for the suggestion.  After verifying there were no blanks, I reviewed the One Drive Refresh and Sync settings on the model of my dashboard which were turned off.  After turning them both on, the dashboard refreshed as expected.

Hi @user900 ,

As the error message says, please check if there are indeed blank values in the columns on the side of the many-to-one relationship or in the columns used as the primary key of the table, and if there are, please delete them or replace them with other meaningful values.
