    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.

     

    Best Regards,
    Eyelyn Qin

Thank you Anonymous! 
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
