    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Thanks for your response!

     

    I tried this and it works. But initially, my data connectivity was via import and I now would like to use direct query.  I'm however unable to change this to 'direct query', is there a way to do this?

      afk,

      To use DirectQuery, you would need to re-connect to the Amazon data source and re-create the whole report.

        There are quite a lot of pages and visuals in the report. Can you suggest any way to easily "copy" the pages and visuals onto a new report? Plus keeping the formatting and positioning of visuals?

         

        Thanks
