Hello,
i'm trying to create a new dataflow using the preview feature to attach a CDM folder (Data lake with F&O data).
Unfortunately the button "create and attach" is deactivated, no matter what i'm typing into the mandatory fields.
Is there a tenant option in PBI Srvice to be enabled or what i'm missing?
Thank you very much in advance
Hi @Anonymous
thank you very much. I got the button enabled. We have some .json missing after export from DFO. Since this is not a Power BI issue, this topic can be closed 🙂
Hi @Anonymous ,
The buttons work fine through my testing.
1.Double-check that you have filled in all the mandatory fields correctly.
2.Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to create and attach dataflows.
Refer this ,there are a few requirements for creating dataflows from CDM folders, as the following list describes:
You can refer to the following documents that may be helpful to you:
