Import and DirectQuery at the same time

Hi Folks,

 

I am trying to find the best way to go about doing this with PowerBi.  Currently connected to our EDW which houses all the order/line item/etc information.  I have a list of 30 unique sales order numbers that I want to retrieve information for that is housed on the EDW.  However, my PowerBi reporting file is in directquery mode (importing all of that data would be too large).  

 

Is there no way to Import an excel file into PowerBi, make a relationship between that dataset and the DirectQuery data set?  

 

Maybe I am thinking about this the wrong way.

    In Power BI Desktop, currently it's not supported to include import data mode dataset and direct query mode dataset into same .pbix file. There's no way to build relationship between these two datasets.
