    Will the linked entity still refresh?  Or is it static with the data that existed before enable load was disabled?

     

    For my dataflow, I don't need the linked entity to load into a report.  I just need a few fields to merge into the main entity.  But the data does update constantly so it has to be a fresh pull.  I'm trying to figure out if unchecking enable load prevents keeping the linked data current.

      HI Anonymous ,

       

      There are two options - enable load and refresh.  You can disable the load but keep the refresh Enabled.

       

      I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!

        I'm familiar with that on the desktop version.  For the PBI Service however, where I'm creating my dataflows, I don't actually see the refresh option when I right click the table.  Only the Enable Load.  Is it housed somewhere else perhaps?
