Hello,
I am creating a report where I use aggregated data in Import mode.
In future I am going to enrich the report with some more datailed data and I should be able to connect to another source with DQ.
As I see, I can create a composite model only when DQ is a first source.
What can I do to be able to add DQ later?
Hi @AnetaK
As tested, i can import a table from SQL Server, then connect to a table from SQL Server in direct query mode,
After that, i can change the storage to dual.
Do you connect to multi-dimensional sources by using DirectQuery?
If so, you can't connect to another DirectQuery source or combine it with Import data.
