Transform data not enabled
Hi, anoomohan
This is normal. Your data model comes from the PowerBI Service. You are using a live connection method for the dataset. So the ‘Transform Data’ option is greyed out.
As a workaround, you can enable the option 'Directquery for PBI datasets and AS' and restart PowerBI Desktop.
When you revisit the PBI dataset, this ‘Transform Data’ option will be available.

HI anoomohan ,
Can you share some screenshots on this please?
Are you using a live connection or DirectQuery method for the dataset?
I imported pbix file from powerbi dataset

The Buttom appeared, but when I click does not bring me any tables to Edity
Hello,
I have the same issue, you are able to resolve this problem?
Thank you - yes that works!
If I transform the data model with direct query now, will it affect the data for other users in power bi service?
sorry if it's a very basic question, I am yet to take a course for the desktop, but need some help to get few reports urgently before I take the course
Hi, anoomohan
No,you are just send queries via PowerBI Desktop to get the data so it does not involve any data changes to the underlying data source. It will not affect the data for other users in Power BI Service.

I am trying to import an excel file. I tried the Options-> Preview Features ->DirectQuery for PBI datasheets and AS.
The Load and Transform data still grayed out.
Same here. I haven't found a solution yet for this one.
