    Hi GustavoSouza ,

     

    I'm afraid it is not supported in Power BI. It is impossible to change import mode to DirectQuery mode.

     

    Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-storage-mode#use-the-storage-mode-property:

    Changing the Storage mode of a table to Import is an irreversible operation. Once set, this property can't later be changed to either DirectQuery or Dual.

     

     

    Best Regards,

    Icey
