Cannot Edit Dataflow (from table)

I have a dataflow which is just a very small table.  The data is not coming from SQL, it is just the data you manually type into a table.

 

When I want to add more data to the table (edit), all I see is the "wheel spinning".  Maybe once a day, I am able to edit the table.

Hi @ryan_b_123 ,

 

That seems like an odd experience.  Particularly if you have a small, entered table AND you can edit it sometimes then not other times.

I would do the old standby of logging out of everything and then clearing the cache in the browser.  And, then, make sure that you are signed into the browser with the correct userid.

After trying that, can you confirm that this dataflow was build within the last couple of years?  I have heard in the past that if a dataflow was built in the "old look" and then you are now in the "new look" that it doesn't always work unless you are in the "old look".  BUT, that was a while back.




Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!

Thanks Collin.  It is indeed a new table (maybe a month old).  I tried the old log-out/log-in, cleared cache, and still having issues.  It did resolve for a couple hours today, so I was able to get in the updates I needed.

 

It is very strange.  I submitted a ticket to Microsoft, so we will see if they can figure it out.
