Use App without Connection

Hello, everyone, i need your help. I have a SQL Server based report and now I wanted to know if it is possible to use it offline. So that I have no connection, but can still choose the different customers, for example. I always get the "no network" error. Has anyone already made this experience?

Best regards, Max

    If you just want to work on the report, you have almost every functionality as in online mode but if you are talking about using Power Query and transforming data, unfortunately it is not available in offline mode. You may vote for this microsoft idea and this way the product team may consider to add this feature in the future.

    That means, if I switch between the pages, it has to be reloaded every time and the reports cannot be "preloaded"?

      You can freely switch between report pages but if you open "Transform data" (Power Query Editor) and try to alter anything in your queries it will give an error message. Additionally, if you try to refresh the data it will also throw an error. So if you are already done with preparing your data, you can almost freely work on the report!

        OK. When it has loaded, you can choose between the areas that are a problem, but then I cannot select any new "customers" in the filter because the values are no longer loaded for this purpose. Am I correct?
