I'm trying to combine two simple oData-feed from two different CRM-organisations with the "Table.Combine". It works with datasets from a single source, it works from two sources in Power BI Desktop, but i fails on app.powerbi.com.
The error I get is "Information is needed in order to combine data". This is really essential for us if we can use Power BI.

I don't see any update on this issue but it's still on as of today.
Any chance of a fix ?
RE: Error: Information is needed in order to combine data
Still have the same issue too.
On-premises gateway is up-to-date.
File > Options and Settings > Options:
GLOBAL > Privacy: have set the Privacy Levels to "Always ignore Privacy Level Settings"
CURRENT FILE > Privacy: have set the Privacy Levels to "Ignore the Privacy Levels and potentially improve performance"
File > Options and Settings > Data source settings:
For all my CSV data sources in my pbix file, have set the Privacy Level dropdown list in the Edit Permission dialog to "None"
Don't know if worth to mention but my files are on a network share and the source location is as \\myserver\myshare\xxx

No, Fergus Allan. It's in the release notes but it's npt working. The error is fixed but an empty dataset is returned

I believe this issue had been resolved end of November.
RE: Error: Information is needed in order to combine data
Please sort this out. It makes Power Bi unusable in our organisation.

I just opened a ticket and hear back: "It requires a change to the product which can take a few weeks as we have to test any changes in the route to live environment"... so early December?
