Hi oberthju ,

 

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

 

Microsoft has officially classified Power BI Dataflows Gen1 as a legacy feature, meaning it will no longer receive new feature investments and will only receive support for critical issues. However, Gen1 is not retired yet, and Microsoft has stated that retirement timelines are still being finalized with a commitment that customers will receive advance notice (at least 12 months for Premium scenarios).

 

As per Microsoft’s guidance, customers should begin planning a transition to Dataflows Gen2, which is the strategic direction for data preparation in the Microsoft Fabric ecosystem.

 

Thank you!!

What about Pro users? We are a small business and cannot afford Fabric. All of our reports use Gen1 Dataflows. It appears that this will cause a major disruption to our business.
