DataFlow fails to save with Unknown Error
Hi jmg80525
Thank you for this information. Did you try to load the parameter? Based on my test, if I try to load the parameter, I have the same "UnknownError" when saving the dataflow. However if I don't load the parameter, I can save the dataflow successfully. Just keep the "Enable load" option unchecked as default and try saving again.
This is probably not an issue due to the following dataflow limitation from Dataflows considerations and limitations:
In Power BI dataflows, you can use parameters but you can't edit them unless you edit the entire dataflow. In this regard, parameters in dataflows behave similar to declared constants.
