Cannot delete data source in DataFlows added by AI feature

The AI feature in Dataflows creates additional data sources for the Entities. 

These sources cannot be deleted even after refreshing the dataflow several times. 

Any suggestions or hints are welcome.!

 

This looks like a bug in Power BI DataFlows.

Hi,

I had the same problem. I exported the dataflow in .json and then I imported it again. 

Someone found another solution?

Regards.

First, you need to login to your Power BI Service,

In another workspace (not My workspace) you able to create dataflow.

to create a new workspace, click on the Workspaces-> Create app workspace


Now, in the new page, you will see a page that able us to create a new workspace (pro or premium)

To do that, click on the Try Now.


A new page will be open, that allows you to create a new workspace with image, name and description


choose proper image, name, and description and click on the Save.

In the new page, you able to see your new workspace and the welcome page, just skip the welcome page to navigate to the main workspace page.


In the main workspace page, beside dataset, Dashboard, Reports, we have new feature name as Dataflows, click on Create option at the top right the page and choose the Dataflow.


it navigates to a page that asking you about adding entities (data source) click on the define new entities.


In the next page, you able to connect to different resources from cloud to on-premises. For this example, we just put some manual data to check the cognitive service (Text Analytics),


Click on the Blank Table, then change the title of the column to Comments, put the below text for each row ( row by row). then put a name for the table and click on the Next.

Hi!

 

I'm currently facing the same issue. I, by mistake, added a test-environment data source to one of my dataflows and now I cannot remove it. The fact that the test-environment datasource is still in the dataflows stops me from scheduling updates since I no longer can update credentials. 

 

Has anyone heard back from Microsoft regarding this issue?
