i am using composte model, i am unable to connect to power bi data model in dax studio as per below , does DAX studio only work on import mode?
Hi @powerbiexpert22 ,
DAX Studio works with both import mode and live connections, not work with composte mode
When your PBIX file uses a Live Connection to an SSAS (SQL Server Analysis Services) model, DAX Studio needs to connect directly to that SSAS model. In this case, there is no data stored within the PBIX file itself.
Below is the link will help you:
