Downstream dataflow

Hi All,

I created a dataflow C refer to two other dataflows A and B upstream. Both A and B is set for the same refresh schedule as their data is independent from each other.

 

This morning I noticed A refreshed completely, B finished 2 minutes after. Yet new data from A didn't get into C, only B.

I rerun refresh for A and notice C didn't get synchronized refresh with A but with B, the later one, which to me is appropriate.

 

But why when C got refreshed, new data from A didn't flow to C? Any suggestion for me to reconfigure this matter?

 

Many thanks,

Rich

You have any reference link to deploy power automate for this specific matter?

You should use Power Automate to refresh theses. there is a trigger that when Dataflow A finishes, it will start Dataflow B, then when B finishes, it will trigger Dataflow C.

What sounds like is happening is C is refreshing before something finishes in A or B, and during a refresh, the dataflow appears empty to all downstream processes.
