Hi V-lianl-msft 

Thanks for the tip. But this post rant is not so much about Dataflows as it is about Microsoft blog authors that do NOT specify early on that the feature or setting they are writing about applies to Premium only. 

 

In SQL Server documents on line, there is usually a standard line at the top that has "Applies to..." information:

"Applies to [X] SQL Server 2016, [X] Azure SQL Database, [X] Azure Data Warehouse"

 

It is born out of countless times of reviewing an article about a cool new feature thinking how I might make use of it, only to find later on, either in the article, or when I go to implement it, that it is a Premium ONLY feature. 

 

It's call "Bait and Switch" in retail terms and is considered VERY unprofessional.

 

How about some standards for Power BI blog articles? Tell me UP FRONT if it applies to me or not.
