Dataflows refresh

[Damian_CT_Nom]

Hello,

I'm trying to create multipe dataflows due to complexity but I don't know if refreshing the base dataflow will completely refresh the rest.

For example, I have a dataflow that we will call DataflowA, which contains a lot of tables from sharepoint.

From DataflowA I will generate by linked tables DataflowB, DataflowC, DataflowD.

From the previous 4 dataflows I will generate by linked tables DataflowE.

If I just refresh DataflowA will it refresh the tables created in DataflowB, DataflowC, DataflowD and refresh the DataflowE with the updated info from the previous three? I know orchestration works A>B>C but would it work in this case? Or I'd need to refresh DataflowA, then B, C and D so DataflowE gets refreshed after the last one gets updated?

They only refresh their data at refresh time according to the schedule, so if you want everything to be updated you'd want to schedule their refresh times sequentially one after the other at the 30 minute intervals.

I don't understand your answer.... 

Orchestration

Using dataflows in the same workspace allows straightforward orchestration. As an example, you might have dataflows A, B and C in a single workspace, and chaining like A > B > C. If you refresh the source (A), the downstream entities also get refreshed. However, if you refresh C, then you have to refresh others independently. Also, if you add a new data source in dataflow B (which isn't included in A) that data isn't refreshed as a part of orchestration.

This is microsoft documentation, so you can link multiple dataflows to just refresh one. That's not my point, my point is if I divide dataflow A into dataflows B, C and D. Later I join data from A, B, C ,D into E will all be refreshed when I refresh A?
