Dataflows Architecture Question

Hi everyone,   I'm thinking to include in our reporting solutions the dataflows and datamarts.    My idea is to have in dataflows a 1:1 copy of the tables stored in Azure Databricks and then cons...

    Hi alexpbi88 ,

    • Deleted datasources will still appear in the Setting page in the gateway drop-down.
    • Depth equates to dataflows linked to other dataflows. The current maximum depth is 32.
    • Breadth equates to entities within a dataflow.
      • There's no guidance or limits for the optimal number of entities is in a dataflow, however, shared dataflows have a refresh limit of two hours per entity, and three per dataflow. So if you have two entities, and each takes two hours, you shouldn't put them in the same dataflow.
      • For Power BI Premium, guidance and limits are driven by individual use cases rather than specific requirements. The only limit for Power BI Premium is a 24-hour refresh per dataflow.
    • A Power BI Premium subscription is required in order to refresh more than 10 dataflows cross workspace
    • PowerQuery limitations are found in the PowerQuery Online usage limits article.
    • When using Computed entities with gateway data sources, the data ingestion should be performed in different data sources than the computations. The computed entities should build upon entities that are only used for ingestion, and not ingest data within their own mash-up steps.
    • In Power BI dataflows, you can use parameters but you can't edit them unless you edit the entire dataflow. In this regard, parameters in dataflows behave similar to declared constants.
