Linked dataflow option outside of premium

So if my company doesn’t want to get premium capacity for some reason, I am checking into it now, how can I mirror linked dataflows.

I am trying to create staging and transformation dataflows. Can the below solution work from RADACAD?

Hi @ysherriff ,

 

To my knowledge, To be refreshed, linked entities require a Power BI Premium subscription. Linked entities are available in any dataflow on a workspace that's hosted on Power BI Premium capacity. It's by desgin.

 

If you use this procedure above to create your dataflow,  you can reference another query, which does not create a calculated entity.  You don't need to pay a Power BI Premium License, but you need to buy a Power Apps license.
