Create Dataflow from Power BI Dataset
- 6 years ago
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.
