Dataflow issue: Linked table appears empty

Hi everyone,

I have a dataflow that pulls data from SQL. Then, I created another dataflow that cleans and processes the data. In this new dataflow, I referenced some tables from the first dataflow, but one of these tables is showing up empty.

When I check the same table in the first dataflow, it has about 500 rows. However, when I look at it as a linked table in the second dataflow, no rows are displayed.

What could be causing this?

I've already tried re-entering the access credentials, but the issue persists.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi @Gabry 

 

Before linking a table from the first dataflow in the second dataflow, make sure the data in the first dataflow has been refreshed and saved, otherwise the linked table shows up empty in the second dataflow.

Try refreshing the first dataflow manually and then check the linked tables in the second dataflow.
