Power BI Pro workspace can make linked table ?

Hi,

I have a workspace with Pro licences, i want to use dataflows? I read some articles and it saids that Pro can only store data into table but cannot make a data model (linked table) like Power Desktop on Dataflows ? Is it true ? I cannot upgrade to Premium right now so Could I make some custom SQL querries to make a single table instead of relationship models and import it to dataflows for use temporary ?

Thank you.

In a Power BI Pro workspace you can create a dataflow but cannot create or use linked or computed entities.  This means that queries in your dataflow cannot reference any other queries.  I have included a link below to the Microsoft documentation.
