Keep information in PowerBI even if id deleted in the source (SQL Server)

Hello

 

I have a source Data Base on SQL Server. Some historic data form the source is deleted on regular basis, only keeping the last 6 months.

 

Is possible to keep the data stored in Power BI even if is deleted from the source (and not be deleted in Power Bi when the data is actualized), because I need to keep all the historic data since the begining even if it was deleted form the source.

 

Example:

Time 1:          DB Origin          Power Bi Data

                       January              January

                       February            February

                       March                March

 

Time2:          DB Origin          Power Bi Data 

                      March              January

                      April                February

                      May                 March

                                              April

                                              May

 

Exists any manner to do that?
