Power BI Dataflow - entity not found

[PradeepDive]

Hi Champs,

I am trying to build  a link table dataflow. When I use the dataflow in services to create another dataflow, it works perfectly fine but when I save and refresh the  dataflow it shows me error as  below ;

: dataflow 'xxxxxxx ds xx8' entity ' xxxxxxx ' was not found.  

some times it shows error as  :    

DataSource.Error: An error happened while reading data from the provider: 'Encountered user error executing direct query

I am not sure where's the issue is. I tried multiple time but still the refresh fails.    Do anyone here faced the same issue.

• Validate Dataflow References:

  • Open the dataflow in Power BI Service.
  • Ensure that all data sources and linked dataflows are correctly referenced and accessible.

• Check and Update Credentials:

  • Go to Settings > Dataflows in your Power BI workspace.
  • Ensure credentials for each data source are up to date and valid.

• Simplify the Dataflow:

  • Open the dataflow and simplify it by removing some transformations.
  • Save and refresh the dataflow after each change to identify which step is causing the issue.

• Review Refresh History:

  • Go to the dataflow in Power BI Service.
  • Click on More options (...) and select Refresh history.
  • Review the error details provided.

• Ensure Data Source Compatibility:

  • If using Direct Query, ensure your data source supports Direct Query and that you’re not hitting any limitations.
