Dataflows Status Pending Validation

Hello community:

I'm having an issue. I have a pro license and all my dataflows show this status now.

And when I try to refresh data from them into the desktop application I get stuck in the 'creating connection to model' step

I searched the forum and read about an issue with dataflows but several days ago.

So I wonder if this might be part of that, and all I have to do is wait or there is something else I can do?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi, @grusso83 

 

Don't worry too much, other people have encountered similar problems to you, and ‎multiple simliar issues have been submited internal. (ICM:259135336)

You can keep following this issue:  Dataflow Pending Validation

or Dataflows fail to refresh - "pending validation" prevents to save dataflows

 

If the reported issue does not cover your case, then I would recommend to open a support ticket. If you have a Pro account it is free. Go to https://support.powerbi.com. Scroll down and click "CREATE SUPPORT TICKET".


Having done what we can, now let's look forward to good news from the development team.

I'm using the Power BI Dataflows.

I got confused, because for what I can tell there is also a bug in the current version of desktop which causes the steps in the refreshing dialog to behave funny.

But if you wait for it, it finally refreshes

 

So both bugs are unconfortable but not necessarly compromising anything!!!

The "pending validation"  issue is long standing, but it doesn't seem to impact anything.

 

Which connector are you using, Power Platform Dataflows or Power BI Dataflows?
