Dataflows are not all showing in Desktop

[bbarth]

I am using dataflows and have not had any issues before. However, several of my dataflows have disappeared, when I go to add them, from Power BI Desktop though they were visible previously. I had the queries added previously just fine but suddenly they are throwing errors and they can't find the flow. In fact I am in the middle of working on a report and had the dataflows added just fine and now that same report shows an error as it can't find the dataflow. The strange part is if I go to the Service I can still see all the dataflows and none of them are showing any errors. I am at a loss of what to do. I have tried refreshing, deleting the dataflow and reloading it nothing I do seems to help. I can see many of my dataflows in the Desktop, but not all of them and from I can tell it appears to be random and I can see all of them on the Service. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi @bbarth ,

After creating the new dataflow, you may refresh the Dataflow on Power BI Service to make data loaded into the entity. Then, click the "Refresh" button in "Navigator" pane when use Power BI dataflows connector in Power BI Desktop .

If still no data is shown, please clear permissions under "Data Source settings", and establish the connection to dataflow again.

Best Regards,

Amy

I have tried resetting the data connections, refreshing, deleting the dataflow and creating a new one but to no avail. I included two screenshots. One is what I can see in the Power BI Service and the other is what actually shows up when I go to bring the dataflow into Power BI Desktop. As you can see there are actually 3 flows missing and I have the same problem in some of my other flows as well.

I found a workaround under this thread,
