Dataflow Error in Premium Workspaces
Certain dataflow features aren't supported when dataflow storage is in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2:
Power BI Pro, Premium and Embedded workspaces:
- The linked entities feature is only supported among workspaces in the same storage account
- Workspace permissions do not apply to dataflows stored in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2; only the owner of the dataflow can access it.
- Otherwise, all data prep features are the same as for dataflows stored in Power BI storage
There are some additional considerations as well, described in the following list:
- Once a dataflow storage location is configured, it cannot be changed.
- Only the owner of a dataflow stored in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 can access its data.
- On-premises data sources, in Power BI Shared capacities, are not supported in dataflows stored in your organization’s Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.
Thanks for the reply, Lewis-H. Some of your suggestions make sense, but none of them fit exactly:
1. We aren't using any linked entities.
2. I am the owner of the dataflows, and during this period I could not even open the dataflow to see the list of columns in each table.
3. What is meant by the dataflow storage location cannot be changed? I don't think this is the issue, because the dataflows were fine for a couple days after putting the workspace in a premium capacity, but broke only after I adjusted the dataflow settings in the capacity.
4. Could you clarify your last point? Our dataflows do connect to an on-prem data warehouse, but they worked completely fine when on a shared capacity and a premium capacity until I adjusted the dataflow workload settings.
