Direct querying issue

‎07-08-2017 12:55 PM

Hey guys,

this could sound like a silly question but I am new to power BI. When I use direct querying I do not know how to export data from the querying window to the main Power BI interface. 

I import from Sql Server my data, then I query them directly and obtain my desired table, but then I can not do anything with it. Can not ue it to make charts or export it in Excel. 

Information: I am using the free version of Power BI Desktop. Any help?

Cheers
