Connect Excel table to a Power BI Service dataset

I have an Excel file connected to a Power BI dataset with a Pivot Table.

 

All is fine, but the Pivot isn't what I need. I'd like to get a Table instead.

 

So, clicking on the grand total of the Pivot returns the Table, as expected.

 

But some fields are missing (Date, for example).

 

How can I edit the query statement of the table to return these fields?

 

Currently it is:

DRILLTHROUGH MAXROWS 1000 SELECT FROM [Model] WHERE ([Measures].[Measure*])

Thanks, I mention that in my question.

Hi @webportal 

 

Since you have connected to a Power BI dataset in Excel, you can use the fields to create a brand new pivot table per your need if you are not satisfied with the current pivot table. 

 

If you only want to keep the data from a pivot table, you could refer to below video to convert a pivot table to a standard table.
