New "DirectQuery for PowerBI datasets" feature not available

Hi,

 

I am using the December 2020 version of PowerBI desktop (2.88.1682.0).

Once I have established a live connection to a Dataset, I should be able to add data from other sources, creating a "local model".

 

However, after connecting to the dataset, the other "get data" import options (SQL server, excel, ....) are greyed out.

I am located in Germany - is this feature not yet available for europe?

 

Greetings

Alex
