Hi gk2go ,

 

You need to make sure that the privacy settings are the same in the desktop as they are in the gateway/the service.  If they are different on any data source then this will happen.  

 

I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!

They are set the same on both ends, and have certainly not changed between Thursday and Friday.

    Hi gk2go ,

     

    Does your data have a parameter in it?  This thread had the same error and this was the solution:

    https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Unable-to-combine-data-Please-rebuild-this-data-combination/td-p/121525

     

    This does appear to be a recent issue for a lot of folks though - the unable to combine data problem.  I would also suggest creating an issue or a ticket as I have started seeing this problem popping up the last couple of days and perhaps Microsoft is not aware of the problem.

     

    I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!

      Yeah, no parameters. I've opened a ticket with MS Support.

        Hey gk2go ,

         

        I know it is anectdotal, but please tell them this is a recent issue that is becoming a bit more prevelant.
