Hello Everyone,

I'm encountering an issue while trying to fetch data from dataflows. I have created these dataflows in Microsoft Fabric and am accessing them via the Power Platform Dataflows connector.

This approach has been working fine for the past few months, but starting today, all tables are showing errors, and I'm unable to retrieve any data.

Has anyone else faced this issue recently, or is there a known solution or workaround?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

I am having the same issue when connecting to Gen2 Dataflows using the Dataflows connector in PowerBI Desktop.  Reports running in the service using the same Dataflows refresh without issues.

 

Version: 2.145.1105.0 64-bit (July 2025)

    Using the Power Platform > Power BI dataflows (Legacy) connector works though.

     

    Update: actually selecting a table in the dataflow failed.

      I am able to successfully connect to our gen2 dataflow this morning using the normal Dataflows connector.
