Hello everyone,
I have created a dataflow and used it in one of my desktop files published to the service, which in turn has created a new dataset.
If I refresh the dataset, will is refresh the dataflow as well or does the dataflow need to be separately refreshed manually or via scheduled refresh?
Thank you,

Hey @visheshjain - Yes, you will need to refresh the Dataflow separately. Refreshing a PBI Dataset will not refresh the Dataflow. Hope this helps !

Hi @visheshjain
Yes, dataflow refresh and dataset refresh are separate. When you refresh the dataset, it does not trigger a refresh of dataflow.
You can refresh a dataset / dataflow by manual refresh or scheduled refresh.
If you want to refresh the dataflow while refreshing the dataset, as far as I know, you can use Power Automate to trigger the refresh of a Power BI dataset when a dataflow refresh completes successfully.
For how to use power automate to refresh datasets and dataflows at the same time, please refer to the following tutorials:Streamline Power BI Refresh: Refresh dataset after a successful refresh of dataflow - RADACAD
For more information about tenants, please refer to: Trigger dataflows and Power BI datasets sequentially - Power Query | Microsoft Docs

Hi @gauthamboppana ,
Is there any way to refresh the dataflow as well, while refreshing the dataset?
Also if we use a PBI Dataset inside another report, will refreshing the 2nd dataset refresh the 1st dataset?
Thanks!
