Hello, I would like to know that i have deployed one report on service and set powerautomate data refresh flow for every 5 min and set manual refresh as well for 2 times in a day. Now the issue is i applied remove duplicates steps in power bi desktop but after some time in service its showing data refresh fail due to duplicates, but when i refresh the report on desktop and redeploy it to service then there is no duplicate is showing. My reports are having incremental refresh as well.
Please help me out what should I do or do i need to change anything.

Hi @Prachi_Ramteke It might be because of discrepancies in handling duplicates between Power BI Desktop and the Service. Ensure your duplicate removal logic accounts for all data variations in incremental refresh settings. Check the data source updates for new records violating uniqueness constraints. Adjust incremental refresh policies to include duplicate checks or reprocess full data as a one-time fix. Validate steps using a staging table or intermediate query to ensure consistency.
