Dataflows best practices
Power BI dataflows are an enterprise-focused data prep solution, enabling an ecosystem of data that's ready for consumption, reuse, and integration. This article provides a list of best practices, with links to articles and other information that will help you understand and use dataflows to their full potential.
Dataflows across the Power Platform
Dataflows can be used across various Power Platform technologies, such as Power Query, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and other Microsoft offerings. For more information about how dataflows can work across the Power Platform, see using dataflows across Microsoft products.
