Microsoft EmployeeShare your thoughts on DirectQuery for Power BI datasets and Azure Analysis Services (preview)
This is the feature we are been waiting for for literally years, thank you! However, it doesn't seem to work, does something need to be enabled on our tenant?
Specifically I have enabled the preview feature, restarted Power BI desktop and connected to one of my Power BI datasets (in fact a few of them) but all the options to import data are greyed out as it always used to be. I also don't see the "make changes to this model" link in the bottom right as described in the video. A colleague of mine has also tried but the same thing.
Power BI Teamfrostystoo Not all models are supported (for example SSAS, even if published to the PBI Service). Can you make sure your dataset is supported by checking the limitations section here: DirectQuery for Power BI datasets and Azure Analysis Services (preview) | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI
If you believe it should be, please share some additional details/screenshots to help us identify the problem.
