    Hey visheshjain  - Yes, you will need to refresh the Dataflow separately. Refreshing a PBI Dataset will not refresh the Dataflow. Hope this helps !

    Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution! If not, please feel free to ask me.

    Also, I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped.  It is a token of appreciation!

    Thank you very much !

Hi visheshjain 

 

Yes, dataflow refresh and dataset refresh are separate. When you refresh the dataset, it does not trigger a refresh of dataflow.

 

You can refresh a dataset / dataflow by manual refresh or scheduled refresh.

 

If you want to refresh the dataflow while refreshing the dataset, as far as I know, you can use Power Automate to trigger the refresh of a Power BI dataset when a dataflow refresh completes successfully.

 

For how to use power automate to refresh datasets and dataflows at the same time, please refer to the following tutorials：Streamline Power BI Refresh: Refresh dataset after a successful refresh of dataflow - RADACAD

For more information about tenants, please refer to: Trigger dataflows and Power BI datasets sequentially - Power Query | Microsoft Docs

 

Best Regards,
