Connecting to Dataflows via DirectQuery from PBI Desktop
Hi guys,
Is there any steps to connect to PBI Dataflows via Direct Query?
I have the following settings configured (enhanced compute engine settings) in the Dataflows, but how do I connect to it without importing my Dataflows into PBI Desktop?

Hi amitchandak ,
Thanks. But can you show me from PBI Desktop, how to connect to it? using direct query to connect to pbi dataflows.
All the 3 links you've provided did not mention or show connecting from pbi desktop.
- It was preview feature in May Desktop release:

As per the second link that amitchandak has already posted, you need to enable it first in the Power BI Service with PREMIUM capacity, then it should be available in Desktop:

What license do you have for Power BI?
