Trouble adding a table to Power BI Desktop file from existing Direct Query dataset

[Anonymous]

I'm having difficulty adding a new table to my Power BI Desktop file from an existing Direct Query dataset. The model is also separately importing data from Sharepoint lists.

When I select 'Recent Sources', the existing Direct Query dataset does not appear in the list.

When I select 'Power BI Dataset' (or 'Get Data' -> 'Power BI Dataset'), it seems to think I'm trying to create a second Direct Query connection and displays the following error:

Is there another method I can use to display and select from the available tables from the existing Direct Query dataset please?

Any help greatly appreciated 🙂

@Anonymous , can you double-check this in direct query mode? There is an option under modelling tab change the mode, if that is enabled, click and check

thansk @amitchandak . It is utilising Direct Query - see screenshot below. 

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by your second sentence - can you please explain for me?

Thanks again @amitchandak . Turns out my underlying problem actually related to a known credentials issue  - all fixed now.

Thanks
