Introduction
Dataflows in Power BI help you prepare and clean data in one place. This means you can reuse the cleaned data in many reports without repeating the same work. It saves time and keeps data consistent across your dashboards.
When multiple reports need the same cleaned and shaped data
When you want to avoid repeating data cleaning steps in each report
When your team wants to share a single source of prepared data
When you want to update data preparation once and have all reports reflect the change
When you want to use cloud storage to keep your data preparation separate from reports
