Referenced Entities - Dataflow

Hi mandy5118 ,

I'm afraid I can't think of any other way to more easily achieve your desired results. If possible, you may want to separate the data streams so that they are not dependent on each other. This would allow you to refresh them independently, but depending on your data architecture, this may not be feasible.
Alternatively, you can try to programmatically control the refreshing of the data streams using the Power BI REST API. You can write a script to refresh DF1 and start refreshing DF2 upon successful completion.
As a last resort, you can manually refresh dependent data streams after ensuring that the upstream data stream has completed its refresh. This is the least automated method and requires manual intervention each time.

BTW, this is the Power Query forum, and based on your description your question seems more appropriate for posting in the Date Factory forum rather than here. Please post here for more specialized help:
