Hi @Govind,

 

While it's generally possible to switch a model from DirectQuery mode to use import mode, this means all the necessary data must be imported. It is also not possible to switch back (primarily due to the set of features not supported in DirectQuery mode). Here is an idea.

 

Besides, you may take a look at this workaround to change data source connection from Import to Direct Query.

 

Best regards,
