I am using Power BI Desktop (May 2022) and trying to change a table from DirectQuery to Import. However, in Model view -> table Properties pane, I only see General section, the Advanced section doesn't show. Why?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Solved! Go to Solution.
I updated Power BI Desktop to version "September 2022" and this issue is resolved.
Thank you all for replying.

Hi @Anonymous ,
If you're connected by Direct Query, you'll see the message "Storage Mode: Direct Query(Click to Change)" in the status bar at the bottom right hand screen on Power BI Desktop:
Click on the message, then you should be able to change Direct Query to Import Model.
The second way is: go to Model view-->Advanced and change the storage mode from DirectQuery to Import
if you cannot change, please update your Power BI Desktop version.
Thanks for your efforts & time in advance.
Best regards,

Thanks for your reply. The second way is just what I need but the "Advancde" is not showing thoug I have updated to version "May 2022".
Do you know what version do I need to support this "Advanced" feature?

can you share a screenshot of what you are looking at and can you give an example of what you are expecting to see.
