Dataflows (Preview) in Energy BI Service has been landed yesterday (sixth November 2018). I had a bit little bit of difficulties to allow this cool new function so I assumed it’s good to write down a Fast tip about it. Whereas Dataflows is underneath preveiw on the time of penning this fast tip, the scenario could also be completely totally different sooner or later.

Right away, absolutely featured Dataflows is on the market in a Energy BI Premium capability or in a Energy BI Embedded Capability, however, whereas that is nonetheless in preview, you possibly can reap the benefits of restricted options obtainable in your Energy BI Professional license. Options like “Linked entities from different dataflows” or “Computed Entities”, like merging tables to a brand new desk, usually are not obtainable in a Energy BI Professional license.

• After check in to Energy BI Service click on “Settings”
• Click on “Admin Portal”

• Choose Capability kind you’re in, both Premium or Embedded
• Click on on a desired capability that you simply’d prefer to allow Dataflows

• Scroll down to search out and click on “Workloads” underneath “Extra Choices”
• Allow “Dataflows (Preview)”
• If you happen to persist with the default “Max Reminiscence (%)” worth that’s set to twenty you’ll get an error message saying “There was a problem updating your workload setting. Strive once more in a short while”. The error message just isn’t useful in any respect. The rationale you get the error message is that the “Max Reminiscence (%)” worth have to be a quantity between 27 to 100 whereas the default is 20.

• Set the quantity to 50 then click on Apply

• After you efficiently enabled Dataflows you’ll that the standing of Dataflows modifications to “Lively”

Once more, that is vaid for very early model of Dataflows and will not be relevant sooner or later.
