Resolver IIIAll,
First, you aren't doing anything to cause this.
I opened a ticket with Microsoft Support yesterday. Today they confirmed it's an issue impacting many users (obvious by this thread). I don't know about you but I've reached the end of my rope on the unstable world of dataflows. Shame, datamarts seems to have some promise, but so do dataflows for certain use cases. I've been fighting issues since January, ever since Prem Gen 2 became GA.
Not the answer anyone is looking for.
Thanks
thanks m-colbert. Good to hear it's an actual issue and not some weird data source conflict. In general I've had no issues with data flows because I keep them spreadout and manageable. In general I think the slow speed in refreshing flows and datasets, and the purposeful time-out limitations, does result in a poor experience and an obvious money-grab from microsift. But I still opt for the poorer experience that I can control end-to-end than the big-company beurocracy of siloing these functions. I have access to Alteryx and Tableau but opt for BI becasue I need approval for Alteryx application, approval to schedule Alterx workflows, approval to create Tableua reports, etc. It's a larger headache to jump through those hoops.
