missing Data View Option when getting data from SQL database

Hi All;

 

Normally; in the left hand side; we have 3 options for Report View, Data View and Relationship View.

when I get data from SQL database; I did not have Data View option.

 

Anyway; I tried to get data from Excel; there is no issue; Data View was there.

Can someone help?

 

Thank you

What is your OS version? Are you using the Mar 2017 version of Power BI Desktop? I cannot repro the same issue as you on my side. My OS is Win10 x64. Could you please post a screenshot for your PBI Desktop?

 

Best Regards,
Herbert
