There was a problem refreshing your dataflow
- 5 years ago
Hi AlexZ ,
If you don't use Power BI Premium, all your dataflow will use resource shared with others. Because your issue is intermittent. I assume it is caused by resource contention.

Hi AlexZ ,
I have found a similar issue. Would you please try to use the workaround: setting the schedule to half an hour or an hour later than the current time (not more than that).

Hi v-deddai1-msft ,
Thanks for your reply.
I've taken a screenshot from the workspace.
As you can see the workflows are running at different times and the Appeee flow didn't have any problems today but the Appeee_GMBH flow which runs 01:30 hours earlier failed. So I don't understand why changing the schedule time should fix the problem. Any of these flows could just run fine for a couple of weeks or even months without any problems, before it just fails again for no apparent reason. Nevertheless I will change the schedule.
These four flow are actualy the same except for a filter specifying the part of the company.
Since I didn't had access to premium they are running side-by-side.
But as of this week my boss approved on using Power BI Premium, so I will change this to use one master flow doing the basic modeling. And then used linked entities to filter the data for the different user groups.
So hopefully that will fix things for me.
The error message states there is something wrong with one or more entities or dataflow capabillities were unavailable. If there was a problem with the entities it would fail every time since the source data isn't changed. So it is safe to rule that part out.
Now the question still remains: What does dataflow capabillities were unavailable mean?

Upgrading to Power BI Premium indeed solved the problem for me.
