Locally datasources refresh well, yet getting this error when trying to refresh dataset in PowerBI.

There was an error when processing the data in the dataset.
Data source type:
Processing error: The import Percentage.Type matches no exports. Did you miss a module reference?

Thanks Mark Zikra, I couldnt find any more %types in my queries but this showed that filtered rows after the data type were changed were causing the issue. For anyone else If you delete these percentage.type rows and then have errors which cause the query to not display simply click find error (at the top on the error message). Mine were filtered rows which I deleted and then refiltered

RE: Failing Dataset refresh - "The import Percentage.Type matches no exports. Did you miss a module reference?"

While Microsoft works on the issue, I have found a workaround that allows for Web interface scheduled refresh and manually refresh so you dont have to constantly publish your data set.

If you converted the data to percentage type, remove that "Changed Type" from your applied steps. you can also find in the advanced editor (right click on your querie and click Advanced Editor) with anything labled as "percentage.type" Example:

#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Renamed Columns2",{{"Current Occupancy", Percentage.Type}, {"16 - 17 Opening Occ", Percentage.Type}}),

^^Delete all of those references

Once you remove all of those, leave the data as a decimal and create a calculated measure to produce the percentage. This way, it does not find that Percentage.Type error upon refresh and works just fine.

Not a permanent solution, but a resolution to a crippling refresh issue...

Any update on this issue? Our PROD environment refresh fails due to this issue.

The problem is still not resolved to this day!
MS: "Also, with your permission I will kindly ask you if it's ok to archive the case as all we can do is wait for the back office engineers to fix it. I don't have a specific time frame for this, but it was already escalated to the proper team for a fix"
