Dataset refresh running slow than dataflow

Hi PowerBI123456 

To me your dataset is not doing an incremental refresh, but is importing the entire dataflow each time it gets refreshed.

I would also configure incremental refresh on your dataset?

Hi, PowerBI123456 

According to your description, I think the first thing you should keep in mind is that when you get data from dataflow using Power BI Desktop, you are getting the data that is already transformed and stored in Azure data lake storage of Power BI dataflows. So the incremental refresh will no longer happen if you refresh the dataset.

Here’s a document about how to use dataflow to make the refresh of Power BI faster, you can also take a look:
