Hi Vucko ,

 

This seems to me like a timing issue.  I would schedule each of the initial 3 dataflows to run sequentially and then schedule the 4th one (the one that puts them together) and then finally the 5th dataflow.  You will have to check the run times of each and make sure that you are keeping them all sequential.

    If I start refreshing any of the ingestion dataflows, the transformation and consumption dataflows get refreshed automatically as well as per the linked entities functionality. 

    So there's no way how to trigger refresh of the transformation dataflow that would refresh all 3 ingestion dataflows at the same time without doing it sequentially?

      Hey Vucko ,

       

      I do not believe that there is a way to do it from the dataflow itself to get it to work right....but....I am wondering about using Power Automate/Flow?  I personally do not have knowledge to help write that but perhaps somebody at your organization (or you) can.
