When I get data from a database and I use "Import" mode is any data saved on Azure or is only cashed?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous , Import means data is saved in power BI. Are you using azure embedded power BI ?
HI @Anonymous ,
Import mode means that the data is stored in in-memory storage of the Power BI "server". This means that the data is stored in the Azure blob storage. THis document may help you out:
