SharePoint: Request failed: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
I am assuming because it is SharePoint online that you are not using the On-Premise Data Gateway?
If not I would suggest to log a support ticket for further investigation.
Yes GilbertQ all SharePoint online. Never had this problem before and strangely it is happening most during working hours. Of an evening and early in the mornings, the solution refreshes as normal. How do i raise a support ticket?
- Hi there
That does appear to be really odd.
You can use my blog post on how to raise a support ticket: https://www.fourmoo.com/2019/09/24/using-power-bi-support-to-create-a-support-ticket/
Team,
We are having the same exact issue -- did you ever get a root cause from Microsoft?

Hi Anonymous I did get the below from the Microsoft support team in India on 21st Nov. No update or fix yet from what I can tell. I also found an issue with Dataflow entities being invisible to the PBI connector if they used Sharepoint files as a source. Microsoft said this is related to the same issue. My solutions seem to refresh ok outside of UK working hours. Not great if you need more regular refreshes like me, but I have no choice but to scale back until Microsoft resolve!
