Excel and SQL server

‎01-16-2017 01:19 AM

Hi, I´ve tried to connect an excel file into a report which already have a sql server connection as direct query, but BI forces to change both to import data. How can I have SQL server data as direct query and excel as imported data? Or is not possible.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards.
