Schedule Refresh error : Unable to combine data

I can refresh the pbix file on the desktop without problem, then publish

when I setup using the schedule refresh, it come up with the following error

I have 2 questions

1. how to make no changes or minimal changes to make it work on the schedule refresh

2. Is there any do or don't that we can follow, to eliminate the problem.

 

[other pbix file work on the schedule refresh without problem. therefore, I believed the setup is correct.
the specific pbix file contains alot transformation and DAX and dependency on the query]

What's come up with my mind is check your pbix and dataset size. The maximum size for pbix imported into the Power BI service is 1 GB. These datasets are heavily compressed to ensure high performance. In addition, in shared capacity, the service places a limit on the amount of uncompressed data that is processed during refresh to 10 GB. 

 

You can also find more troubleshooting scenarios in the document.

looks like an access error, is this in the cloud or on prem data source?

in the cloud. I don't think it is an access error.

 

I can refresh it using power BI desktop, without any problem. Others PBIX files are ok too.

it happened when I use the PowerBI Schedule refresh.

this specific one had a lot of transformation and functions.

 

I am not sure how to define the dependency of the queries.
