DirectQuery

Hi,

 

I am buildinga report that is refreshes realtime and to do so, I need to use directquery. When I use the DirectQuery, and add transformation steps, I get an error that transformation is not allowed with directquery. 

 

I am wondetring if its possible to have realtime data refresh and have transformation steps. 

 

Thanks

Daven
