Restore Deleted Dataflow
Is it possible to restore a dataflow that was deleted? I found the action in the audit log but I haven't been able to find anything that would allow me to get it back.

Hi, I know it may already be too late to recover a deleted report… 💔

Thanks, I reached out to Power BI Support and they confirmed this. Restoring dataflows is available to premium Power BI instances but not the regular PBI service.
Reach out to Microsoft support, they might be able to help if you have the DataflowID with you
