    Hi jondeck24,

    How do you connect to your data source in Power BI Desktop? If you connect to some database data sources using “DirectQuery” option, or connect to SSAS database using “Connect live” option, the data tab will not be visible. There is an example for your reference.

When you import data through direct SQL query, the data tab disappears. Click on Model tab, then click on the tables you've imported(through SQL query). In the properties window->Advanced, change the storage mode from DirectQuery to import. Tada! You can see the Data tab again!
