Power Bi Data Set
Dear Power Bi Communitee,
I use a Power Bi Dataset in order to build some visuals. But I would need to visualize & add some tables. Unfortunately, it's not possible -> I can't see the icon data on the left part. Do you have any explanations? This appears even if I'm the owner of the data set.
Thanks for your help.

Indeed they are, apologies i misunderstood your problem, as this is not direct query to a dataset its live connection. So when its live you are not able to change it. However, you said this is your data source why dont you connect to the table or SQL instead of the dataset, it would be possible to make the necessary changes then. If you connected to the dataset directly you cannot change it unfortunately.

Anonymous , As of now you can add anything else, if you are using power bi dataset
The reason why you dont see the option is because you are using direct query mode and not import. If you change all your tables to be import mode you will see the option and be able to make changes to the data in the tables. The difference is that if you use direct query you will not need to refresh the report to get the new data, but if its import mode everytime before you want to see the new data you need to refresh and re-publish the report (just an additional step). Hope this helps.
