Getting empty table on PBI Desktop Dataflow

Hi Everyone,   I setup my dataflow fine on PBI Server, and I see the data and I'm able to edit it.   I'm able to find the dataflow in PBI Desktop and navigate, but when it loads the table is empty....

Hi

 

when you are editig your data in Dataflow you will see the following

 

 

Right?

 

Then you click on Save and Close 

Then appear a message; "We are validating your query ......."

 

Then  you have to close the editing session clicking on Close  (X Close)

 

 

at this point making a connection in Power Bi Desktop

- Get Data from Power BI dataflow

- Select the checkbox for the file you wanto to connect

- click on the icon Refresh at your right (inside the red line)

and it should work

 

 

Regards

Thanks for the suggestion.  I just tried as you mentioned but still no data.  I get all the fields that I added, just not the data within them.   I have no problem pulling from datasets, it's just dataflows

    Hi

    I tried once again on my dataflow and I am not able to understand.

     

     

    Is there a yellow traingle on dataflow?

    Here is a test on my side (I know that it does not work because linking entities requires Premium non available at moment for me)

    Could you check if your dataflow has an error?
