how to change import query tp direct query

I am trying to change an PBI import query to Direct Query and i cant find a clear  answer on how to go about it. Was wondering if anyone has a good walkthrough - i  have seen some suggestions about changing the pbx file into zip but i cant quite find a way of doing this step.

Hi , @Anonymous 

Direct Query to Import, it works.

But Import to Direct Query, you cannot.

 

If you really need to change it to direct query,my suggestion is to create a new one using direct query then copy your applied steps from your previous report.
