Dataflow connector not working on new laptop
- Anonymous1 year ago
Hi PVO3,
Thanks for confirming that both laptops have the same culture settings and that you're using the same account. Since we've ruled out culture differences, let's check other possible reasons :
* Clear your Power BI Credentials and Reauthenticate. Go to File then Options and settings then
Data source settings. Now look for any PowerBI.Dataflows credentials, delete them, and
reconnect. You can also sign out of Power BI Desktop completely and sign back in which will
restart it too.
* Also check for Network or Firewall Restrictions, if your new laptop is on a different network, a
firewall or proxy might be blocking access to Power BI Dataflows.
* You have to manually verify workspace and dataflow IDs by going to Power BI Service, then go
to Workspaces and then Your Dataflow. Copy the workspaceId and dataflowId from the URL
and compare them with those in your query. If they don’t match, update your query
accordingly.
* You can also test with a different version of Power BI Desktop. Even if both laptops have the
latest version, some updates may behave differently. Try installing an older version of Power
BI Desktop and run the query again and see if it works.
* You can also enable tracing to get more details regarding the issue you are facing. Go to File
then Options and settings and again options and then Diagnostics. Enable Tracing, then try
running the query again. You can check the logs in stored in "c:\Users\(your
user)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerBI Desktop\Traces"
If I misunderstand your needs or you still have problems on it, please feel free to let us know.

Hi PVO3,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
It looks like you are facing an issue where Power BI cannot find a matching entry in the queried data source. Please go through the points suggested by lbendlin. Apart from the mentioned points you can also check for few more things like:
* Your Power BI Desktop may not be authenticated correctly for dataflows on the new laptop.
* Make sure you are using the same account in Power BI Desktop as in Power BI Service.
* Also check if your new laptop's user account has the correct permissions in Power BI Service.
* If none of the above work, Power BI Desktop logs may provide more details on your issue.
I would also take a moment to thank lbendlin, for actively participating in the community forum and for the solutions you’ve been sharing in the community forum. Your contributions make a real difference.
