Until recently, I believe the preferred method of connecting to Dataflows was using the named connection, as opposed to the generic Dataflows. Has this now changed?
And should I be concerned about (Legacy) soon becoming (Deprecated)?
Note that we are connecting to true Power BI Dataflows, the ones previously referred to as CDMA (Analytics) and not a generic Common Data Services. (although the names change so frequently, I may have missed the memos)
Let me refine my original question based on your response. Specifically, the addition of "(Legacy" was very recent and I have not found an explanation of the changes, if any.
Hi, @Tomcat3 ;
It through the official documentation:
A dataflow can be consumed in the following three ways:
Create a linked table from the dataflow to allow another dataflow author to use the data
Create a dataset from the dataflow to allow a user to utilize the data to create reports
Create a connection from external tools that can read from the CDM format
