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'm seeing the same problem and it still occurs if I set the privacy for the file to ignore.

RE: Error: Information is needed in order to combine data

The privacy setting which allows you to "Ignore" the privacy settings and combine data from two different data sources gets reset each time the file is opened by a different user or there is an update to Desktop. Once you set Privacy to "ignore" for a file, it should stay set.
