Data flow error

‎02-14-2021 05:52 AM

When running my dataflow I get a message after refshesing:

"The dataflow contains an error".

 

It doens't say which error it is and in the data preview all seems good.

 

I run the same code in Power BI Desktop, all is good - data is loaded, no errors

 

When pulling the data from the data flow - it is empty.

 

This takes about 2 hours every time, so I'm getting crazy. What error? And why does it run in Power BI Desktop and not in a data flow?

Dataflows do not support all the Power Query commands that you can run in Power BI Desktop. Check your code against this page: Power Query Online Usage Limits | Microsoft Docs
