Hi lachlanP，

 

This happens when the data source you used, within Power BI Desktop, isn’t supported for refresh. You will need to find the data source that you are using and compare that against the list of supported data sources at Refresh data in Power BI.

 

If you aren’t sure what data source was used, you can find that using the following steps within Power BI Desktop.

 

1.In Power BI Desktop, make sure you are on the Report pane.

 

2.Select Transform data from the ribbon bar.

 

3.Select Advanced Editor.

 

4.Make note of the provider listed for the source. In this example, the provider is Excel.Workbook.

 

5.Compare the provider with the list of supported data sources found in Power BI data sources.

 

For more information, please refer to:

Power BI data sources - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Troubleshooting unsupported data source for refresh - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

 

Best Regards,

Yadong Fang

    Hi v-yadongf-msft, 

     

    Thanks for the reply. 

     

    All of my data sources are Dynamics 365 Business Central (none are on-prem, all cloud). This is the only data source other than Excel I have ever used and have never had issues. Is this no longer a supprted data source? That seems extreemly unlikely based on Microsoft's focus on business Central and Power BI integration.
