    Hi FaresB 

    The issue you’re encountering happens because some data sources in Power BI do not support scheduled refresh in the Service, even if they refresh fine in Desktop. In your case, the dataset includes Microsoft Planner data accessed via Graph/OData/Web connectors, which are considered read-only API sources. These connectors often do not support scheduled refresh, or they require specific authentication methods that aren’t compatible with the Service refresh engine. The reference to “Query1” is a generic placeholder Power BI uses when it detects an unsupported data source in the model, so it doesn’t necessarily correspond to a query you’ve named. While Desktop refresh works because it runs under your user context with interactive credentials, the Service cannot execute the same calls automatically if the API or connector doesn’t support refresh. Workarounds include using a gateway with a custom connector or Power Automate to pull Planner data into a supported source like SharePoint or Azure SQL, and then connecting your model to that intermediate dataset, allowing scheduled refresh to function. Essentially, for Planner/Graph data, you cannot rely on direct scheduled refresh in Power BI Service; you need to stage the data in a refreshable source first.
