Issue - Power BI Dataflow - Validating Queries - Extremely, Extremely, Extremely Slow
Hi, MartinMason
Question 1:
Which kind of data sources does the dataflow get data from? Is there any specific features made to the entity, eg: Merge/Append queries?
Question 2:
There are a few known limitations to using Enterprise Gateways and dataflows:
- Each dataflow may use only one gateway. As such, all queries should be configured using the same gateway.
- Changing the gateway impact the entire dataflow.
- If several gateways are needed, the best practice is to build several dataflows (one for each gateway) and use the compute or entity reference capabilities to unify the data.
- Dataflows are only supported using enterprise gateways. Personal gateways will not be available for selection in the drop down lists and settings screens.
So it requires to assign an administator role of the gateway to others once you want them to add entities to the dataflow.
Here is the reference.

Not really what I was asking. Haven't replied until now as I thought the performance issues being experienced last week may have been incurred by the February 2022 release. Performance from 2/19 through 2/22 was pretty decent but today it's back to being "acceptable". Performance difference in "Validating Queries" for the same dataflow was typically 3 minutes on Monday but the same flow is now back to 30 minutes today. Still better than the 2 hours it was taking to validate queries last week.
