Power Query, Reference tables, Refresh

Hello
So, I need your help.
I have a problem with refreshing tables.
I have a table - call "mainTable", datasource is azure/databricks, have ca. 0,5mln rows.
(Steps : Source, Navigation)

I create by right click -> Reference, three reference tables Q1,Q2,Q3.

My goal is: during refresh my project only mainTable should downloaded datasource and the other 3 reference tables should be based on this mainTable.

Unfortunately when I refresh my project all 3 reference tables downloading the same datasource (3x 0,5mln)

I checked/uncheked this but still without good result.

I read that it is possible that after downloading the first table, the other caching and based on this first downloaded table. But i dont know how can I do it 😞

HI @pp92,

I suppose you can try to reference from the source query table and cancel the 'include in refresh' option of the reference tables or create these in dataflow side.
