cannot convert a value of type list to type text error on Power BI Service

I currently have a model which uses SAP HANA as a data source. The file refreshes fine in the desktop version, but when published and scheduled to refresh online, I get the error 'we cannot convert a value of type list to type text'. I removed all user content from the model and just uploaded the raw SAP data and still got this message. Any idea of what the cause could be?

Please set "Ignore Privacy Levels" in .pbix, re-publish it to see if the data refresh works.
