    Hi sakBI 

    You can’t overwrite a Gen1 Dataflow with Gen2 - migration creates a new Dataflow ID, so existing reports or semantic models won’t auto-connect.

     

    Could you please try below steps:

    1. Open each dataset >> Transform Data >> Data source settings >> Change source >> point to the new Gen2 dataflow.

    2. Use Fabric Lineage view or Power BI REST API (GetDatasources, GetDatasets, GetReports) to find which reports use the old Dataflow.

    3. If you don’t have access, ask an admin to run the API tenant-wide.

    If still not work try below steps: 

    1. Export Gen1 query and recreate it in Gen2.

    2. Reconnect datasets manually or rebuild dependent models.

    3. Keep Gen1 active temporarily until all links are updated.
