Expression.Error: The name 'PowerBI.Dataflows' wasn't recognized. Make sure it's spelled correctly.
Hi Artie ,
In fact, power bi desktop also require credentials to authorize and get correspond dataflow.
In query editor, it will direct invoke stored credentials to get correspond user id to find out workspace id and 'dataflow id' list.(obviously, these credentials not exist in other users' computers)Regards,

Hi Xiaoxin,
Thank you for the reply. I did try the Credentials refresh but it didn't work for me. Something that sounds weird to me is the expression "the name ... wasn't recognized", like if the source type didn't exist.
By doing some trials and errors, I found out that by going to the applied step "Source", then hitting Refresh Preview, somehow Power Query connects to the Dataflows.
We need to run the steps above each time the person who refreshes the report changes.
Perhaps not a scientific solution, but it worked.
Thank you!
