Link between dataset and dataflow
Hi,
I created the dataset in Power BI Desktop and published in Service.
I see the data from the dataflow in the reports.
I don't need to configure a gateway because I am using empty tables in the dataflow. I just configure data source credential in the dataset.
I have not configured an automatic refresh of the dataflow because I am using empty tables in the dataflow which are updated manually by the users.
So, everything works correctly, except the link between the dataflow and the dataset, and the refresh of the data from the dataflow in the dataset in Service.
Best regards,
Hi Anonymous ,
Does the data refresh in Power BI Desktop when you changed the data in dataflow?
Maybe you can create a new pbix just contains this dataflow, then publish it to service.
Check if it is changed when you change the dataflow.
If it doesn’t, the reason maybe your credential when you create the dataflow, please check these.

Hi,
When I refresh the data in Desktop, the data from the dataflow is updated.
I created a dataset with only the dataflow and published it to Service. The link between the dataflow and the new dataset is present. Then, I modified the data from the dataflow and refreshed the new dataset, and the data from the dataflow updated in the dataset. So all is well in the new dataset.
So, I refreshed the first dataset, and the data from the dataflow updated in the dataset. However, there is still no link between the dataflow and the first dataset, in the lineage view. But it is less serious.
Do you know why sometimes the link is present and other times not?
Best regards
