- There have been lots of announcements about Dataflow online, through videos and articles and news. There are many demos about Dataflow as well. However, still when I talk about it in conferences, one of the main questions from the audience is that; “What are use cases for it?”. In this video, I’m going to answer that question specifically. I will first explain what Dataflow is, and how it can be useful in different scenarios for business analysts or developers who are using Power BI. If you want to use dataflow in Power BI, but not sure where to use it, this is a video for you. You can also read my blog article about it here:

Excellent Video. You have answered all questions regarding Dataflow which I have in my mind for more than 6 months.
Cristal clear! Short but complete explanation!

Subscribed. Really great! You answered most of my questions. one more: could paginate report use dataflow?
Each month we have final and estimated data. Unfortunately, the data files for these 2 sets have different files, hence, different format.
Update 2021. We have Premium license. We DON'T have Azure. And all my reports are build based on Dataflows.
What do you think are the disadvantages of using Power BI dataflow instead of building a data warehouse? I am thinking of using dataflow for a small company that doesn't have a DW yet, as a "pilot" BI project. I suppose there might be some limitations in performance and/ or storage...
If I use dataflow, will I be able to connect to the "data warehouse" I created with my other operational systems?
I wish Power BI dataflows was available for Get Data in the Power BI service. Then my Mac users could bring in data and build simple reports in a browser. Not perfect, since we still need a PC to run Desktop to build models, but it would be a start.
Hi, Will Dataflow support AppendMode or only accepts FullLoad ?
Is this available in a free version on the cloud?
So if we DO have a data warehouse where we could do all these transformations beforehand, there's no need for PowerBI dataflows, is that correct?
When I try to do a "FuzzyNestedJoin" I get this error in Data Flows: "The name 'Table.FuzzyNestedJoin' wasn't recognized. Make sure it's spelled correctly" Here is what I am doing......... Table.FuzzyNestedJoin(#"Expanded Exclude", {"Account_Name"}, HPG_Roster, {"Name2"}, "HPG_Roster", JoinKind.LeftOuter, [IgnoreCase = true, IgnoreSpace = true, NumberOfMatches = 1])................ Any help would be amazing!
