Data Flow Linked Entity "Unexpected Error"

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am trying to use the Power BI Service to create a data flow. I am adding a linked entity (another data flow) as a data source. The service prompts me to sign in to select the appropriate data flow, but when I click "sign in" and enter my credentials, I get an error "Unexpected Error" as seen below.

What is interesting is that I can use a different account and successfully link to the other data flow. The credentials do not fail. Both users have admin access to the workspace and have a premium per user license.

Thanks in advance,

MCK

Hi @Anonymous ,

Actually I need more details such as :

1. In which workspace? New or Classic or both?

2. How do you create the new data flow? 

• Define new tables --> From Power BI dataflows
• Define new tables --> From Power BI Platform dataflows
• Link tables from other dataflows

.....

Since everything works fine on my side:

•  

Please make sure the gateway is the latest version and then take a look at the limitations about data flow :

Refer to :

Dataflows Limitations, restrictions and supported connectors and features - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Error when connecting sharepoint list to dataflows | Power BI Exchange

Dataflow: unexpected error - Microsoft Power BI Community
