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.
Best Regards,
Hammad.

Hello Anonymous,
No, my issue is not resolved, like mentioned in my reply. I still have no idea where to look.
My current workaround is to keep 2 laptops around all the time.

I'm sorry haven't found time to dig deeper. I already have this issue about 10 months and I haven't made any progress.
I'm using dataflows extensively because of their flexibility but they are my main source of issues.
Hopefully I'll be able to spend some time on it this week.
