"DirectQuery for PBI datasets and AS" preview, where has it gone?

[Trotter]

Hi All

In power BI desktop I have been using the preview feature "DirectQuery for PBI datasets and AS" which has proved invaluable, given in allowing me to add my own data sources to a data model provided by a third party.

However I can no longer see the "DirectQuery for PBI datasets and AS" option in preview.

Does anyone know if this feature has been discontinued?

Or will it be available somewhere other than the preview section?

I am concerned as I don't want reports I have created with this feature to stop working and I really needed to be able to use if for new reporting.

Thanks

Regards

Matthew

Facing the same issue, have you found the solution for this?

@Trotter , I think it is GA now, You should able to see an option in modelling view to change data source type

Hi @amitchandak 

Would you mind showing with a screenshot when you can find this now? I have been battleling to be able to use this feature and was so happy to find it (I am still on the previous version), but the problem is that some of my collagues who are already in the June version cannot find the setting and I cant properly follow your reply without pics, sorry my inexperience. Thanks you so much!

Thanks very much @amitchandak 

I have tried selecting "make changes" on the Modelling tab, followed by "add local model" and this seems to have worked as I can now add data from excel and add my own measures..etc.

However I am not sure if this is the same as
