    Hi vipinkmathews,

     

    You need to go to:

    File > Options and then Settings > Options and settings > DirectQuery, then selecting the option *Allow unrestricted measures in DirectQuery mode**. 

     

    Just look at this link to see the vantages/ disavantages and options you have with direct query.
