What is Dataflow Gen2?

• A. A hybrid database that supports ACID transactions.
• B. A way to import and transform data with Power Query Online.
• C. A way to export data to Power BI Desktop.
• D. A data visualization feature in Fabric.

Answer: (B)

Dataflow Gen2 is Fabric’s data preparation layer that lets you bring in data from various sources and shape it for analysis, using Power Query Online. This means you define how data should be imported, filtered, joined, transformed, and loaded so it’s ready for modeling or reporting, all within the Fabric environment. The key here is leveraging Power Query Online to perform these transformations, which is exactly what the option describes.

It isn’t a hybrid database with ACID transactions, so it’s not describing a database system. It isn’t a method to export data to Power BI Desktop, since its primary role is data preparation inside Fabric rather than exporting to a desktop tool. And it isn’t a data visualization feature, since the focus of Dataflow Gen2 is on preparing and transforming data, not visualizing it.
