Viewing Lineage upstream across different workspaces

Hi,

 

We have a main Workspace where we store our dataflows, which we then use across multiple workspaces and reports.

 

Is there a way to view upstream which workspaces and reports use that dataflow?

 

Thanks

Hi. Well you can use the linage view to check by UI the flow of the data. If you just want to understand if the dataflows is being used you can use the PowerBi Rest API to check dataflows linked to datasets.

Doc to the request: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin/datasets-get-dataset-to-dataflows-links-in...

That one should help you understand if the dataflows of the workspace are being used by which dataset.

Then if you want to map it to reports you have to build another request to get reports of the dataset.

I hope that helps,
