Disabling load on linked entity - what is effect on computed entity ?

Hi frano72 ,

Linked entities are read only. If you want to create transformations for a linked entity, you must create a new computed entity with a reference to the linked entity. The Linked entities have no transformation , no storage , read only , just a link.

The computed entities can be good for performance .Main table is stored in Power BI Dataflow storage, and the new table will query the main table (not the data source).

If your dataflow isn’t in a Premium capacity workspace, you can still reference a single query or combine two or more queries as long as the transformations aren’t defined as in-storage transformations. Such references are considered standard entities. To do so, turn off the Enable load option for the referenced queries to prevent the data from being materialized and from being ingested into storage. From there, you can reference those Enable load = false queries, and set Enable load to On only for the resulted queries that you want to materialize.
