      No, there isn't. Can you describe your scenario a bit more? I'm curious why you're wanting this behavior.

        Hello Ehren, Someone from team accidently deleted the data from datasource (dataverse). 

        As i have not refreshed the data since last week, just wanted to get the same. As preview gets downloaded, not able to get the data(without transformation).
