Composite model

Hi

 

I have tables and views in snowflake database. So there are 5 tables and out of which 4 I can use in import mode however 1 needs to be used as directquery mode to create power bi model. I just wanted to know whether there are some disadvantages I should be aware of before going for this type of composite model.

@ani_informa ,

 

Actually there're some limitations in composite model. For example, some some data sources are not supported in composite model. For more details, I would suggest you refer to the limitation and consideration part in doc below:
