There have been a number of different error messages received in the Desktop application, and previously with scheduled refreshes on the web. Although I have noticed a number of improvements such as referencing a column, if not sometimes the table too, there are still a lot of errors that have no reference.

I have a current problem where I can't refresh a data source and it tells me the table name but nothing else. I suspect that it has to do with an automated relationship but I don't know which one. It's entirely unhelpful and some sort of ability to see more technical details on the failure would be helpful.

RE: Better error message detail

Had this issue twice now, tables named in error were not even the problem, they were simply cancelled due to an earlier step failing. "command was cancelled" is quite uninformative, specially when it points to table with no issues!

Only way to solve these issues was to download the workbook and try a refresh on PBI Desktop.
