Connect LiveQuery data with an local Excel file (import)
Hello togehter,
I want to get some data from a SQL server with LiveQuery. These datasets I want to connect with a local Excel file on my laptop. This file has some master data which are not on the SQL server and which I need for some filters.
Now the problem:
If I choose the data from the server with LiveQuery it´s not a problem. After that I want to upload the Excel file and then the program says that it isn´t possible or I have to change the data from the SQL server to "import" and not LiveQuery. But that means I can only set up the time to refresh the data and that only works when the laptop is connected with the internet and is turned on.
Is there a way to say that the Excel file is on the mode "import" and the data from the server on "LiveQuery" in one Power BI data?
Thanks and have a great day
Anonymous You can't mix connection types. When you use Direct Query, you have to pull all the data the same way. So you could add the Excel file as a table in the SQL database.
Or.
If you want to import all the data and not use Direct Query you could set up an On Premises Data Gateway on a server that is running all the time. Then create a data source on the gateway in the Service, and schedule refresh.
