Power BI Desktop - can see Dataflow, but not entities

Hi, 

 

I'm experimenting with Dataflows, and have some enties setup.

When I go into Power BI Desktop, I can see my Dataflow, but not either of the entities to connect to.

Why would that be?

Hi @mmace1

 

Did you refresh the data in the entities?

 

It has to be first refreshed, so that it can actually load the data into the entity?

Ah, so I thought it was refreshing properly - 1 entity was, but the Salesforce one was not.  Seemingly if any entity with the Dataflow fails, the whole thing is out.  Removed the Salesforce entity, and now I can see it. 

 

Thanks!

Awesome, glad you got it working.

 

And yes they are reliant on each other in order to refresh as suspected.
