I cannot open a Dataflow Gen 2
Hi,
I have no way to open a dataflow gen 2.
It shows a blank page with the F of Fabric in the middle.
Even the contextual menu when we click on the 3 points next to the dataflow item doen't load.
What is wrong ?
The problem resolved itself after a few hours.
Big question mark.Thank you everyone.

Hi Damiensize
A blank page with the Fabric “F” and the 3-dot menu not loading is almost always a browser blocking issue (privacy setting/extension blocking Fabric scripts or cookies).
Fix (quick test first):
-
Open the item in Incognito/InPrivate. If it opens there, the blocker is the cause.
-
In your normal browser disable ad/tracker blockers for fabric.microsoft.com, allow third-party cookies, and clear site data/cache for this site.
-
If it still won’t open, make sure you have Contributor (or higher) on the workspace and the workspace is on Fabric/Premium capacity.
If none of the above works, capture Help >> About >> Session/Activity ID and raise a support ticket.
I tested in incognito before creating that message.
It has the same behavior.
I cannot find a way to raise a support ticket.
Where can we do that?
I just see something with a side pane that ask for a support subscription ID after a few steps.
Hi Damiensize
If the pane is asking for a Support subscription ID, it means self-service support isn’t enabled for your account. In this case only your tenant admin can open a ticket with Microsoft.
What to do
-
Ask your Microsoft 365 / Power BI (Fabric) admin to open a ticket:
-
Microsoft 365 Admin Center >> Support >> New service request, or
-
Power Platform Admin Center >> Help + support >> New support request (select Microsoft Fabric / Power BI).
-
-
Share with them: timestamp, Session/Activity ID (Help >> About), workspace URL/name, and item name (Dataflow Gen2).
-
-
You can’t open the Dataflow Gen2 because of either browser/cache issues, permissions, or a Fabric service outage.
Try:
Open in incognito / clear cache.
Check you have Contributor+ role.
Test in another browser/network.
Check Microsoft Service Health for Fabric issues.

Hi Damiensize ,
Thanks for the update. Since the issue later resolved on its own, it was likely a transient service problem. Clearing cache or testing in Incognito is still a good first step if you notice this again.As mentioned earlier by rohit1991 , if you don’t have a support plan linked to your tenant, you may need to contact your Microsoft 365/Fabric admin to either open the ticket on your behalf or associate a subscription ID.
If the issue reoccurs, please share details like timestamp, Activity ID, workspace URL, and item name with your admin so they can include it in the support request.
