Empty tables during dataflow refresh

this will depend on how all its set up, but if you using the dataflows in a dataset that isnt live or direct query should be good, else you can also have a dataset storage the data and use a power automate flow that detects when the last dataflow that u getting the data from refresh send to refresh only them the dataset. this avoid the dataset to refresh at the same time of the dataflow and avoid the blank data part, remember that dataflows works as azure data lake gen 2.
hope this helps out.

When my dataset is being refreshed, my users don't see blank values in the report.
The data for users stays the same until the refresh finishes and "commits".
The same behaviour should be for dataflow refreshes, should it not be?
