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?

    HI Anonymous ,

     

    My apologies, I didn't realize this was about a dataflow.  I do not think there is an "include in report" and you have only the "enable load" or not option.  And, therefore, if you are using data (even a few columns only) you have to enable load for the whole data source.  maybe you can make a mini-version of the larger data source somewhere to get a smaller data source to load as your merge columns?
