One single schedule task for sequential refresh of both Dataflows + Dataset

[pbiideas1]

The biggest thing that I’m missing is the ability to schedule a Dataflow, plus a Dataset (without Premium capacity). Now you can schedule both separately, but not in an automated sequential way. https://ssbipolar.com/2018/11/24/whats-missing-from-power-bi-dataflows/

This is essential to be able to have a cohesive refresh of a dataset. It is difficult to predict always the length of the refresh of each part, so without a sequential refresh we end up with too many extra schedules "in case".

How long must we wait? This is becoming a deal breaker for me and the use of dataflows

Hello,

We are missing this so badly, yes. Especially now that you got them flowing through the deployment pipeline, which is great, a big congrats for that. I have a deployment pipeline with twentysome dataflows now and it's becoming hard to mantain. The work pace together with the use of partial deployment make the pipeline a bit a black box so sometimes is difficult to understand what the combination (definition + data) in each stage might be!. In addition, as linked entities aren't supported in the pipeline, some workarounds on that can make the things worse. The one I have chosen only finds that there is a missing column when the dataset fails to load it. As it imports the data "as it is" and "watever it is". I have ended selecting columns as a last step for each dataflow so that expliciting them triggers the error if they are missing.

Thank you!
Javier
