    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    There are some limitations and considerations when you use DirectQuery. No built-in date hierarchy:  When importing data, every date/datetime column will also have a built-in date hierarchy available by default. This built-in date hierarchy isn't available when using DirectQuery. If there's a Date table available in the underlying source, as is common in many data warehouses, then the DAX Time Intelligence functions can be used as normal. Date/time support only to second accuracy: When using time columns in your dataset, Power BI only issues queries to the underlying source to a level of detail of seconds. Queries aren't sent to the DirectQuery source for milliseconds. Remove this part of the times from your source columns.
