PBI Dataflow: Loading stuck at Importing data path phase from sharepoint online

Hi All,

 

Im having issues in creating a new data flow with Pro Account. The data flow takes so much time to load for just importing data path from Sharepoint Online. This is my 3rd data flow, the first 2 is working fine. 

 

 

After 11 minutes running, the error shown below. I've rerun the same method and the error pops up after 18 

 

Appreciate for any suggestions to try and help from the expert.

 

Thank you

  • Have you tried creating the same query in Power BI desktop?

     

    Power BI desktop tends to be much quicker than dataflows. For this reason when creating a dataflow I find it preferable to:

    1. Create and test queries in PBI desktop
    2. Open advanced editor
    3. Copy the entire query
    4. Paste into a blank query in the dataflow.
