Hello. I am new to Power BI and Power BI Service. I am using the free trial while I learn enough to take the PL-300. The past week I've been getting emails about the dataset in the Github workspace not refreshing. This is the workspace and dataset that came pre-loaded in the app. Mostly, I'm just curious about this error and if it's the result of something I've done. I see that column 1 is missing, but I don't even remember accessing this report? Maybe I looked at the repo on github a month ago?
Thanks for any insight! Here is a copy of the message I get:
There was an error when processing the data in the dataset.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Since I never did anything to the dataset I just downloaded the app again. No more emails about the refresh.

Hi @bmcminn
It would appear that in one of the steps from the Github dataset it is mssing a column with the name of 'Column1' I would suggest looking into Power Query
