Is creating a Dataflow from another Dataflow without linking entities possible?
Hi everyone, I'd like to create a dataflow from another, already created, dataflow table. The only way I know how to do this currently is using the linking entities feature which is only allowed ...

Hi Gilbert,
I should've added more context. We already have a set of dataflows that are defined with orthogonal, minimal data in an effort to transmit the least amount of information "over the wire" to the powerbi service as possible. But, we'd like to have a different interface for the end-user than these minimal dataflows, and it'd be nice to be able to transform them in the powerbi service into second set of dataflows that are organized better for that aforementioned end-user. Does that make sense?
Because of that, copy-pasting the M code would be insufficient, not because of the data copies in the powerbi service, but because of the redundant data sent over HTTP.
