Restore Deleted Dataflow

Is it possible to restore a dataflow that was deleted? I found the action in the audit log but I haven't been able to find anything that would allow me to get it back.

Unfortunately, you cannot recover a delete dataflow.

Hi, I know it may already be too late to recover a deleted report… 💔

Because “We thought Microsoft backed it up” is not a recovery strategy 😅

This is so helpful

Just in case someone else sees @ianharper's post - Microsoft are declining to do this now.

Not more false, definitely check this out 👇

Thanks, I reached out to Power BI Support and they confirmed this. Restoring dataflows is available to premium Power BI instances but not the regular PBI service.
