    AnonymousSo I've been following this post now for a couple weeks as I believe I'm in the same boat with our current PBI environment. For my understanding, are you, essentially, importing your dataflows into the PBI Desktop? If so, aren't you waiting a long time for things to load? I thought the whole point of Dataflows was to have a "connection" to the cloud where resource utilization would take place on the Azure Data Lake level (scratching my head here)?

     

    I thought as a work around I would create a Dataflow dataset (wait a half day for everything to import :) ). This way I have one central dataset the masses could leverage as well as me having one central ETL point.  

     

    Any additional clarification would be greatly appreciated!
