web url storage mode
Hi All,
I need a clarification regarding getting data into Power BI Desktop from websites using web url. My customer is a retailer. I am developing Power BI reports for them. For that, Some data needs to be imported from websites. I did this by, get data -> web.
If i use this method, all data from that website will be loaded into power bi as Import storage mode. But i actually wanted it as direct query method. My customer doesnt want to manually refresh. Does web url support direct query method ?
Thanks,
It's not possible I'm afraid. Take a look at the following link for a full list of direct query compatible data sources.

Not sure what you meant by web url in direct query mode.?
You can schedule a refresh of your data.
