Hello all,
the last 2 days i'm struggling with the following issue. I'm trying to create a new data flow and when i click to save and close it gives me the following errors.
I have created a lot of datafows and i do not know where is the issue. I have enabled it before i push on the save and close button.
Any ideas?
Hi @bak7
Can you first check if you have hit some limitations in the dataflow?
If it doesn't solve your problem, can you provide more details about your dataflow? What data sources does it connect to? How many entities are included in it? Are these entities able to be saved if created in separate dataflows?
I would suggest creating queries in Power BI Desktop first so that you can save and update them easily. Then you can copy the queries to Power Query Online to test which query or entity will cause this problem.
Reference: how to copy and paste queries between PQ Desktop and PQ Online.
Kindly let me know if this helps.
