Import dataflow configuration into the desktop app

I need to update a complex dataflow, and it would be easier to be doing it in the desktop.  Is there any way to import into the desktop app the exported JSON of a dataflow to create the same tables ?

    Hey watts_jim ,

     

    unfortunately there is not, but you can copy the M-code from the Advanced editor of the dataflow to the Advanced editor of a blank query in Power BI Desktop.

     

    Regards,

    Tom

    It's a complex Dataflow with 25 tables - I'm trying to avoid doing it one-by-one.
