Directquery error when adding data source
Hi Anonymous ,
If you want to make a DirectQuery connection to a Power BI dataset, your tenant needs to have "Allow XMLA Endpoints and Analyze in Excel with on-premises datasets" enabled. My test found that if this option is not enabled, you will get such an error.
For more limitations, please refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-directquery-datasets-azure-analysis-services#considerations-and-limitations
If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

My dataset uses only xlsx and txt files and is not connected to an SQL server of any kind.
All the files are located on a protected network drive.
Where can I check the auth connection type in Desktop used?
