    Hi , filiparibeiro 

    According to your case description, you are using the feature of the linked entity of Power BI dataflow, and according to my research and search in the official documentation, this feature requires a workspace in the Premium capacity to unlock the normal refresh of the dataflow, check out this official documentation:

    Link entities between dataflows - Power Query | Microsoft Learn

     

     

    In addition, as Collinq said, Premium capacity brings you more benefits than just the unlocking of dataflow refreshes, there are many limits on larger resources and wider maximum limits, depending on the type of SKU you subscribe to, check out this official document:

    Power BI Premium features. - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

     

    Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI! 

     

    Best Regards,

    Aniya Zhang

Thanks for your reply. Would premium per user version solve this issue?

Hey filiparibeiro ,

 

Without knowing all the variables, it is hard to give a definitive "yes, Premium will solve this" so my suggestion is that get a PPU license and see if that works for your user.  If so, then you can roll out Premium and have all the developers (and users) use Premium.
