Refresh error - Processing error: Information is needed in order to combine data

Hi all,

 

I'm having troubles with my refresh, everything worked fine until today when I received an error message from my scheduled refresh.

I've ensured that my data sources' credentials are set to organizational but the error still persists.

Would like to seek some insights into this please, thank you.

Unfortunately not, I've tried uploading the file in a different name and configuring the privacy levels of the data sources to be the same... and the error still appears...

Any luck with your issue?  It bit me yesterday as well.  I had the issue about 6 weeks ago.  Alinging privacy levels amongst data sources resolved the issue then.  The privacy levels are still aligned but now we have an error.  Seems like a service update to me.  Has anyone spoken to Microsoft about any service updates going in over the weekend?
