    Thanks to everybody for your tips in problem resolution. It helped me to narrow down to the actual problem while ticking the checklist.

    The problem actually had been that I had used 'Merge Queries' to combine data from Sharepoint list and SQL Server database in the Power Query (Transform Data). It works perfectly in Power BI desktop, no problem with data model, reporting and data refresh. But when published, data refresh always failed.
