Hi @Muhammadirfan20,

What is the source of excel you are loading?

Some connectors (like Web, OData, Google Sheets, API endpoints, Oracle Fusion, etc.) do not support DirectQuery, only Import mode.

 

In Power BI Desktop:
Home → Get Data → (your source)
When prompted, select Import instead of DirectQuery.

 

Also check that the credential and connector information is correct.

Hi @Muhammadirfan20 

CSV, Excel files and other flat files do not support direct query but import mode only.
