What is a Dataflow Gen2?

• A. A hybrid database that supports ACID transactions.
• B. A way to export data to Power BI Desktop.
• C. A way to import and transform data with Power Query Online.
• D. A method to schedule data refreshes.

Answer: (C)

Dataflow Gen2 is the cloud service in Microsoft Fabric for preparing data by importing from multiple sources and transforming it with Power Query Online. You build dataflows, use the Power Query Editor and M language to clean, transform, merge, and enrich data, and then load the results into the Fabric data lakehouse for downstream analytics. This focuses on data ingestion and transformation in a cloud-based, self-service prep environment, which is why it’s described as importing and transforming data with Power Query Online. It’s not a hybrid database with ACID transactions, it isn’t about exporting data to Power BI Desktop, and it isn’t primarily a feature for scheduling data refreshes.
