Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous you should be able to convert from DQ to Import using method you're already trying or in power bi desktop on bottom left hand corner you will see message 'DirectQuery enabled (click to change)' which will let you change back to Import. But I am thinking since it is throwing you error it is related to some of the custom steps you've applied to the query. So I would suggest going back to first step of Source and change it to DQ and then follow each step one by one until you get to one that throws error and fix it.
