    Hi Anonymous ,

    Please note that: Automatic page refresh is available only for DirectQuery data sources.

    When you create a table which is combined three direct query tables, you will find the storage mode in lower right corner of power bi desktop has been changed from direct query to mixed.

    It means the new combined table uses import mode not direct query so that page refresh doesn't work for it. You should click the Refresh button in the Home ribbon to refresh this combined table manually.

     

    Best Regards,

Hi,

 

Can i change the storage mode of my merged tables from 'import' to 'direct query'?

or is there a way to automatically refresh this table if it is merged?
