Helper IIthis table cannot be shown because it is not in import mode.
Hi yanzhao_LBS
The datasource will dicatate wether you can connect to the data model as a direct query or load.
If direct query you cannot look inside the tables.
There is a way of jerry rigging it by using Create Table and then setting the new table equal to the old table. This will force the table to load and is known as a calculated table. You MUST remove calculated tables before pubishing as models connected to Semantic Direct Queries DO NOT support calculated tables.

Here is an article explaining import modes:

Has there been an update that will now allow this? I have a shared Semantic model and I created a new table off of it for my visuals, then published and don't see any issues. Question if the shared Semantic Model changes, will my table that pulls from it also update?
