Refer multiple tables from single upstream dataflow caused downstream blockage

Good day everyone!

 

I found multiple issues that downstream dataflow didn't get updated data from the upstream dataflow, either in full or outdated.

 

To describe the case,

Dataflow A upstream performed transformation and provide 2 output tables

Dataflow B downstream from another workspace, referred to both output tables of Dataflow A. Result showed that Dataflow B got stale data from A, which means outdated or sometimes showed as empty table.

 

Please advise if you encountered the issue before.

    Hi rdnguyen 

    What is the upstream data source for dataflow A ? In what way did you create dataflow B ? If you refresh dataflow B manually, will the data be updated ?

  • Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Dataflow A referred to another Dataflow X collecting data from SQL On prime, so this mean Dataflow A do its job totally on Power BI Service. Both X and A refresh normal and successfully.

     

    Dataflow B downstream from another workspace, referred to both output tables of Dataflow A. Since in another workspace, B has it own refresh schedule (30 min latency after A)

     

    I tried refresh B manually, one linked entity has data (not all the time), the other linked entity didn't load any at all.
