I need to configure ODBC connection to store data in DirectQuery mode in PBI. I have two problems:
1. Per MS documentation, SupportsDerivedTable option can be used in ODBC.DataSource in M-Query to make the query a DirectQuery mode.
Here's my M-Query:
let
Source= Odbc.DataSource("dsn=localhost SQL Server", [SupportsDerivedTable = true])
in
Source
I get this error:
Expression.Error: The provided options are not valid.
Details:
[List]
2. Where do I enter my SQL statement in ODBC.DataSource in M-Query? The current statement (without SupportsDerivedTable) gives a list of SQL objects.
Thank you!

Hi @pbi_user_rdg ,
According to the official document—— The supported options records fields fall into two categories—
1. Are public and always available. The record can contain the following fields:
HierarchicalNavigation
CreateNavigationProperties
ConnectionTimeout
CommandTimeout
SqlCompatibleWindowsAuth
So for example:
Source = Odbc.DataSource("dsn=Test", [ConnectionTimeout=#duration(0,0,10,0)])
2. Are only available in an extensibility context.
Since SupportsDerivedTable option is not public ,it is used in Overriding SqlCapabilities, you could not directly use it.

Thank you.. I thought it could be referenced in M-query.
Thank you @v-eqin-msft!
How can one use the options available only as extensibility context?
Here's my M-query that does not store the table in DirectQuery mode:
let
Source =
Odbc.DataSource(
"dsn=localhost SQL Server",
[HierarchicalNavigation=true, SqlCapabilities=[SupportsDerivedTable = true]
]
),
#"DW_Database" =
Source{
[Name="dbname",Kind="Database"]
}[Data],
dbo_Schema =
#"DW_Database"{
[Name="dbo",Kind="Schema"]
}[Data],
DimDate_Table =
dbo_Schema{[Name="DimDate",Kind="Table"]}[Data]
in
DimDate_Table
