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.

No, Fergus Allan. It's in the release notes but it's npt working. The error is fixed but an empty dataset is returned
RE: Error: Information is needed in order to combine data
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?

I'm stuck on this too. Same error, same symptoms, same stuck!
RE: Error: Information is needed in order to combine data
Would be great to have instruction in M code that will force M Engine ignore privacy levels on query level. Currently it is really annoying and not transparent.... Surprising sometimes: when two queries from the same system cannot be merged (refreshed on Power BI) due to a reason that privacy levels are different (even when in Power BI Desktop option set to "Ignore").
RE: Error: Information is needed in order to combine data
I am seeing the same problem. Privacy for the file is set to ignore and data source privacy is set to none for both sources I am merging.
