You can do this through 'Azure Analysis Services' connector in Dataflow. You will need to do three things:
1. Server: powerbi://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/{Workspace name} 

2. Database: {Datset name}

3. DAX Query: Prepare DAX query using report builder or DAX Studio.

I have detailed this here: https://sites.google.com/view/powerquerywizard/get-semantic-model-data-in-dataflow-in-power-bi

Hello everybody,

is there still no way to go from dataset to dataflow?

I am trying to connect do an exasol database, which is not possible via dataflow. With Powerbi Desktop it works just fine.
Copying the M-Code doesnt work either.

But, to re-use the data in different reports, a dataflow is absolutely needed.

help is much appreciated

Hi @Suhel_Ansari 

You can ask the dataset owner to give you access to the pbix file and copy the M code from there.

Thank you for the prompt response, I can however we have too many table which are a reference of main table, so was thinking it we can at-lest get the a custom function in M query to convert my table from PBI file so i can import it into Dataflow please help me. Thanks

Hi @Suhel_Ansari 

You can not build a dataflow on top of the dataset, you can only do it the other way round.

The easiest way I know to replicate the models is by coping the M script from PBI desktop advanced editor into dataflows.

You can still reference the same tables in dataflows, you just need to make sure "Enable Load" is not on.
