Power Query greyed out

Hi, 

I will create a Power BI report, with SQL (tabular model) as data source. I can't use Power Query or create new tables. Is it possible to access those features anyway? 

 

 

This view does not exist. 

 

Best regards, Pauline

  • You seem to be using an old version of Power BI Desktop and/or you didn't enable the feature in the options.

  • Are you connecting to a SSAS Tabular model in live mode?

      Add another data source so your live connection is forced into mixed mode (direct query with local model).

      Hi P-Lag ,

      You cannot use Power Query when the data connection mode is Live connection. This is by design. Power Query can only use under Import, DirectQuery and Mixed mode.
      And the table view can only exist when the data connection mode is Import mode

        Hi, 

         

        It is not possible to import the data source. 

         

         

         

  • P-Lag Try connecting to Analysis Server model using Import mode like below under Get data
