Hi All,
When I try to change from import to DirectQuery in Powery Query Editor, DirectQuery option is not coming up for the already imported file. Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks,

Thank you. This is the exact answer what I am expected.
hi, @Arul ;
Accoridng to the official document , Can't change from import to DirectQuery mode: While it's possible to switch a model from DirectQuery mode to use import mode, all the necessary data must be imported. It's also not possible to switch back.
You may also take a look at this idea.
