Comments on: Dataflows: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly https://prologika.com/dataflows-the-good-the-bad-the-ugly/ Business Intelligence Consulting and Training in Atlanta Tue, 08 Jan 2019 20:58:46 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.2 By: Patrick https://prologika.com/dataflows-the-good-the-bad-the-ugly/#comment-779 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 20:58:46 +0000 https://prologika.com/?p=6016#comment-779 Thank you for the article.
I agree in particular on the simple computed entities needing Premium being “Bad”. That is going to block small users from using.
I wonder if the roadmap will allow Datasets to connect live to Dataflows? I feel currently we have a duplication of data and data refresh. Dataflows are held in the gen2 lake but to model/report on this data you still currently import these flows into a dataset.
Also, how can we duplicate these Dataflows? If I create a set of entities with a list of query tasks, I don’t see how I can replicate this into a different Workspace with different database credentials.
Thanks, Patrick

It’s tough for small to medium size businesses…

I hope the article about the performance of concurrent usage between Power BI Dataflow and Azure SQL Database.
When Power BI Desktop use by 1,000+ users and each users import 1+ million data, which one is good?
When Power BI Desktop use by 100 users and each users import 100+ million data, which one is good?
about the cost and the time, etc.

I think I recall this from the Ignite presentation and Matthew Roche’s own presentations.
