Control on output folder structure in Power BI dataflow integration with Azure Data Lake Gen2
Hi TheDataGeek
You mentioned that “But the dataflow created cannot be edited or refreshed from power bi service.” , does it mean that it does not take effect without this function, or is there an error ?
In addition, in the ADLS Gen 2 storage account, all dataflows are stored in the Power BI container of the filesystem. The location where dataflows store data in the folder hierarchy for ADLS Gen 2 is determined by whether the workspace is located in shared capacity or Premium capacity. So where to store it depends on your capacity.

There is no error, the dataflow is created as an external dataflow which cannot be refreshed/edited in power bi service.

The folder structure is same for both premium and shared capacity. I am looking for customizing it. Any way to acheive that?
