Error Message dataflow gen 1

[jochendecraene]

Hi,

Since today I get the following error message when refreshing my dataflows gen 1: "Expression.Error: The import PowerPlatform.Dataflows matches no exports. Did you miss a module reference?"

Any idea what is wrong? Something changed?

Hi @jochendecraene ,

Just checking in glad to hear you were able to identify the connector name change and get things working again. That kind of silent shift from PowerBI.Dataflows(null) to PowerPlatform.Dataflows(null) can definitely be tricky to spot.

Were things still running smoothly after switching it back? Sometimes those subtle backend updates catch us off guard, so just wanted to make sure everything's stable now.

Reagrds,
Akhil.

Hi @jochendecraene ,

Thank you for confirming and sharing the screenshot.

It’s quite insightful that the connector name had changed locally from in csharp

= PowerBI.Dataflows(null)

to

= PowerPlatform.Dataflows(null)

This kind of silent change often happens due to backend updates or connector reconfigurations by Microsoft. Good call on switching it back to PowerBI.Dataflows(null)  glad to hear that resolved the issue and your dataflow is now loading correctly.

If @BeaBF  response helped guide you toward the solution,

If the above solutions works consider marking it as “Accept as Solution” and give a kudos to help others in the community facing the same Gen1 connector issue.

@jochendecraene Hi! 

Looks like Microsoft made a backend change affecting the PowerPlatform.Dataflows connector for Dataflows Gen1. The error "Expression.Error: The import PowerPlatform.Dataflows matches no exports. Did you miss a module reference?" typically means that the M engine can no longer find the library it’s trying to load.

This is likely part of Microsoft’s gradual phase-out of certain Gen1 connectors in favor of Dataflows Gen2. You’ll want to check your environment to see if the connector is still supported, or plan to switch to the newer Dataflows or OData connectors depending on your setup.

Try to check your dataflow connectors:

In Power BI Service → Settings → Manage Gateways → Data Source Settings

Confirm whether the PowerPlatform Dataflows connector is still available and/or if there's a new version.

This is strange. It seems like the name changed from = PowerBI.Dataflows(null) to = PowerPlatform.Dataflows(null) in my local report in Power Query. When I change it back to = PowerBI.Dataflows(null) to go to the desired workspace via M and navigate manually, it does work to load the dataflow.

@BeaBF  Thnx for the quick response

I see two type of dataflows, both are online
