Dataflows not showing in Desktop

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

I've been using Dataflows for quite a while now and today I've gone to 'Get Data' to see all Dataflows and there's nothing showing up despite having been able to see options previously (I can also confirm I'm logged into an account that has Dataflows set up).

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous, 

Would you please share a screenshot about "I've gone to 'Get Data' to see all Dataflows and there's nothing showing up despite having been able to see options previously "? 

Please go to Data Source settings, check if you used dataflow data source previously, if it is, please clear the permission, then back to click on Get Data -> Power BI dataflows, sign in with a Power BI account which has created dataflows before, then check if dataflow listed in navigate pane. 

If you mean the preview data for the dataflow doesn't display in navigate pane, please go to Power BI service, refresh the dataflow, after the dataflow is refreshed successfully, then try again in Power BI desktop. 

Best Regards,
Qiuyun Yu

Hi @v-qiuyu-msft ,

Does this mean that nobody can access a Power BI Dataflow unless it's the same person/account that created it? Doesn't that defeat one of the main purposes of having a dataflow as a light ETL to provide to a team?

Thanks
