Dear Friend,

 

Sorry for my previous one. 
Import is always faster then live connection. It is based on the data size.

let come to here.

 

1. If u connect one source as live connection we can't use another connection as import.

 

solution for this scenario.

1. Try to import that excel file into cube and do the all modelling and calculation in cube itself. 

or 

2. Change the live connection to import then do the calculation here.

 

Note :

Few updates back Power BI introduce one new feature. that we can do the DAX calculation in power bi desktop if even connected with Live source too.
