I have a report with a query that runs native SQL to Oracle in import mode. I need to switch that query to sourcing from a Power BI dataset which, will only operate in DQ mode.
I have 8 relationships to other dimension tables and numerous measures built off this fact query/table.
I don't see around re-building this report unfortunately. I hope I'm wrong.
Does anyone have any best bractices they've developed going through a similar exercise?
I actually have six of these queries/tables in this report I have to deal with.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hmmm. I have to think through this a bit. There might be something in there I can use. Of course, and it's always the case, my situation is a bit more complicated I think. I'm actually going to be creating 6 discreet datasets. The reason is, while 2 of the queries need to refresh multiple times a day the others need to refresh weekly, monthly or not at all.
Hi @pawlowski6132 ,
If your model started out in Excel, but now you are forced to connect to data in a database, you do not have to stress out. Yes, unless you watch this video, you will have to rebuild everything, but if you do watch this video, I will show you how you can move your table(s) from one data source type to another without having to break anything.
The steps to switch are the following:

@pawlowski6132 I'm sure this article will help you to do this or it is easier.
- make copy of your pbix file with all the data and measures in it
- remove all the visual from this file, keep blank page, we will use it as a model
- publish this file and it now become a dataset
- ope original file
- in Power Query, remove all the tables from the file
- close and apply
- all visual will fail
- now choose power bi as a dataset and connect it to the published file
- everything should work (visuals are back)
- and this file become your thin report file
