Thank you--this is really what I needed to help me 'cement' the difference between a data flow and data set in my mind. I now think of a data set as a paint-by-numbers experience. The drawing has been made, and colors 'suggested'. Data flows are 'create from scratch' using the same 'suggested' palette, but can include any color or design element you want/need. Very helpful!
Hey Matthew, thanks for sharing! I'm pretty new to this dataflows and this is such a game changer for me! Thank you for showing a live demo of a workspace with a Dataflow already set up. I was having a difficult time imagining what the final solution would look like.. until I came across this video.
Thank you! It's likely that the videos will cover "basic but often misunderstood" topics for the next few months. There's a lot of commonly asked questions to answer...
Do there is no best practise when to use data flow vs data set? It all depends on the situation? One good advantage of data sets is that they carry the dax calculations along into the model. Appreciate your thoughts on this,
My rule is to perform work as far upstream as possible and as far downstream as necessary. This is a decent guideline that will get you started, and from that point on you can look at the capabilities of each approach.
Since I sow this video one year ago, we use Dataflows in SPL Tele GmbH very much (actually everythin is based on Dataflows now), but we need Row Level Security on Dataflows as well. This is becose if we want to apply Dyn. RLS we have to do it on Dataset and share Dateset with users, not Dataflows. Then user can not build his own model with additional tables, he has to use our Dataset and consentwently your Data Model :(
Once I create new data model based on the existing dataflow, will the refresh depend on the original refresh schedule? e.g. Original dataflow is scheduled to be refreshed once a day but the re-used data model needs to be refreshed 8/day. is that possible? Thanks.
IIRC, this was the first video I recorded, and I was still figuring out what I was doing. (To be fair, I am still figuring that our.) I hope the audio in more recent video has improved for you.
Thank you! I have a good microphone, but I'm still struggling to get the audio quality I need. I'll continue to iterate with both the physical setup and the editing workflow to see what i can do to improve it. Thanks for your feedback and your patience!
