Refresh Failed - Internal Service Error
thanks v-jiascu-msft - I did just that. The support desk were very helpful.
The solution in my case was to remove the broken reports from the Online service and re-add them.
1 - Open the report(s) in PBI Desktop and clear the cache (file...options and settings... options)
2 - Refresh the data in the desktop and save.
3 - Open PBI Online and remove the associated dataset(s). Note - you'll need to remove the reports from any content packs before you can remove the reports and data from the online service. Also you might want to make a note of the (failed) refresh schedule you had before doing this so you can recreate it exactly.
4 - Hop back to PBI Desktop and publish the report from PBI Desktop to Online
5 - Hop back to PBI Online and set the refresh schedule back up
6 - Add the reports back into any apps or content packs.
Hope that helps.

This is absolutely ridiculous to have to jump through these hoops to get refreshes to work. How much money is Microsoft making and the software doesn't even work effectively?
