Direct Query Connection tables result as Direct Query instead of Import

Hi All,

 

I am using two tables which i imported those as Direct Query connection. I created a new calculated table by using those two direct query connection tables. I selected few columns and created a new calculated table using union function. Now my isuse is i want the new calculated table also be from direct query instead of import connection. Is it possible to convert the newly created calculated table as direct query?

poor choice of words, eh?  🙂

 

Anyway, you can only convert from Direct Query to Import mode. You cannot (officially) covert back.  You will need to start over.

Can you do the Union at the data source?
