Struggling with first Dataflow connecting to Power BI desktop

Hi.  I am working on a new project in a new domain. I have created a free trial Fabric account using the new domain login and successfully created a new Workspace and a Data Gen 2 dataflow. all looks fine

 

However when I go to Power BI desktop and sign in with the same account and click on get data>Dataflow i dont see the new envorioment or workspace?  Weirdly I see some enviroments and workspaces for another company I do work on and it seems to be allowing me to load those evewn thoguh I am not signed in with that companies account. 

 

Any suggestions as to why my new workspace is not showing up as a source in Power BI desktop really appreicated. Is their some workspace setting that allows it to be seen by Power BI desktop?

 

Thanks for any help

 

Mike

Worked it out. If you move between tenants just because you sign in nder the new tenant does not mean Power BI will switch. I had to go to power query and data source settings and edit the permissions n the Dataflows enttry to the new tenant. Then it showed the right dataflows.   Bit of bug if you work across multiple tenants as only seems to be one dataflow conection and you cant rename it.
