Mixed storage mode: Live connection + Direct Query
- Anonymous4 years ago
Hi thhmez7 ,
So far, Power BI provide three connection types to connect data source, they are Import, QirectQuery and Live Connect. Live Connect is used for ssas,aas and power bi dataset , and cannot combine with other connection types. but you can change Live Connect to Direct Query for as and power bi dataset.
For three connection types ,please read these documents: Power BI Connection Types: DirectQuery, Live, or Import? Tough Decision! - RADACAD , Using DirectQuery in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
For change Live Connect to Direct Query, please read this document: Using DirectQuery for datasets and Analysis Services (preview) - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

thhmez7 , I doubt you can have a live + direct query. You need to have both as direct query connection
Actually this scenario live + dq has worked for me before.
