Functionality of switching modes from Live Query Mode to Import Mode and viceversa

[arecuero]

Would be very useful to utilize a functionality of switching modes between Live Query and Import mode and viceversa without having to start modeling from sratch along with adding columns while you are on Live Query Mode

We have a need for this as well. Tableau currently has a toggle button for this functionality. Without this functionality it makes the product less agile to develop.

One of the feature I prefer Tableau over Power BI is the ability to switch between import (Tableau extracts) and Direct Query (Live). This feature is essential for rapid development (direct query over a subset of data for rapid iteration and then change to import for performance or remains direct query for large data set).
