Dataflows - Only Refresh Specific Tables
Hi Anonymous
Linked Entities refresh differently if they are together in the workspace or in separate workspaces. If all together in the same workspace, refreshing the main Dataflow will also force the linked entities to refresh. If the linked entities are in other workspaces, refreshing the dataflow will not force a refresh in the linked entities. Be aware that Linked Entities require a Premium licence. In this case I'd just go with two separate Dataflows, not linked, with different refresh schedules. Simpler, cheaper and gets the job done.
Hope this helps

really helpful, thank you very much. one more question, when I want to use that data flow in Power BI desktop, I can only use one data flow right? that's why I brought two data flows together by using linked entities.
sorry, I just realised I can bring different entities from different data flows to Desktop. You can ignore my question above. thank you for your response.
