Direct Query December Update not working
Hi Anonymous - thanks for your message. I have the same version as you have shown installed yet when I try to connect to a PowerBI dataset I am getting the below message. Similarly, if I try to connect using a new file to Azure Analysis Services or a PowerBI dataset using a new file, as soon as I make the connection the Get Data menu is disabled - basically it is behaving exactly as it had in previous versions and I'm not getting the functionality where I can transform the data model or create a local model. Any ideas?? Is there something obvious I'm missing here that would otherwise prevent the functionality from working (I have already reviewed the December update article and can't find a solution there).
Hi Anonymous ,
Can you use DirectQuery to connect to any Power BI Dataset? According to the info refer in the blog provided by parry2k , it is still waiting for some final Azure Analysis Services updates, and may not support use DirectQuery to connect to Azure Analysis Services currently...
Note that at the moment, we are waiting for some final Azure Analysis Services updates which are rolling out this week. You will be able to try this feature against Power BI Datasets, and support for connections to Azure Analysis Services will come by the end of this week.
Best Regards
