    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    After creating the new dataflow, please refresh the DataFlow on service to make data loaded into the entity. Then, click the "Refresh" button in "Navigator" pane. If still no data is shown, please clear permissions under "Data Source settings", and establish the connection to dataflow again.

    Best regards,

    Yuliana Gu

I had this exact same issue just a few hours ago in where I created a dataflow and actually changed the data types within that dataflow before saving and refreshing the data. It wasn't until that I had removed those changes that the data was flowing from the dataflow/Power BI service into the .pbix file that I was creating.

 

Avoid making any changes to the data type in the dataflow. Make your data type changes in the .pbix.
