How to change one table direct query to import

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have a really big data model and I want to change one table which is defined as Direct Query to Import mode.
As far as I know I can change it by clicking right bottom of the report and change direct query to import but it is designed for "all" tables. 
I just need to change one table.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance

Hi, I found there is no 'Drect Query' option available, is this convert from import to direct query function removed from powerbi?

Hi, @Anonymous 

Based on your description, it is available to operate as follows.

You can choose ‘Model View’ in the left pane, select the corresponding table using ‘DirectQuery’ storage mode, go to ‘Properties’, change the storage mode from ‘DirectQuery’ to ‘Import’.
