Power BI Pro. created Basic Workflow and All my work has disappeared

I have just spent ALL day working on a basic Dataflow (Power BI Pro workspace) so only basic stuff.

 

I have saved it repeatedly.

 

Then 10 minutes ago I reopened it up and most of the work has gone. In fact the only thing in it is the few original tables I added. Every transformation. Gone. All the later tables gone.

 

Im utterly furious and I dont understand because I have been repeatedly saving the dataflow.

 

What is beyond frustrating is, I cant even say why its happened. Has anyone had this happen to them? Are there any tips? can I get it back?

Hi @DebbieE 

 

While I can certainly understand this is extremely frustration that you have lost all your work, what I typically do would is to use the power BI desktop with power query and work on all my transformations I want in power query. Once that is done, I will then go into the advanced editor, copy the code and put that into a blank window in my data flow. Hopefully in that way you would not lose all your work.





Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!
