Hi @fakeeh ,

If your dataset has already been created via a live connection, you cannot switch it to import mode directly.Currently, the live Connection mode can only be changed to direct query mode.

If you find this restriction inconvenient, you can vote for the idea of supporting switching from live connection to import mode in Power BI.

Best Regards,

it is possible to change a live connection to an Import connection. do it from power query editor > source setting.

just make backup of your PBIX file so you can revert back you your old configuration whenever want.
