When I try I got an error "The column 'cachedEntity' of the table wasn't found"
Kind Regards,
Thank you
Hi fabconmvp,
Just to double check, you are trying to use an existing dataflow (gen2) as a source in the get data option of the new dataflow (gen2), correct?
Afaik that should be supported and I don't see that listed as a limitation:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/connectors/dataflows
Can you share the power query M code you used for the connection/to retrieve the data from the first gen2 dataflow? Would be good to inspect that and see what is happening in your case.
Thanks for the reply from Expiscornovus , please allow me to provide another insight:

Hello Expiscornovus,
I faced a problem this morning. However, the problem is gone suddenly and ı can connect right now and I haven't changed anything. İt is weird. Assume that dataflow needs a time? Interesting. Do you have any opinion why ı faced a problem in this morning and not faced right now?
