Editing Datasets With Direct Query

I have a PowerBI dataset available to me that I would like to edit. I enabled direct query and click makes changes to the current model, but then when I click transform data there are no query's available to edit. I want to take a published dataset, make changes to certain columns in query editor and add excel/sharepoint files to the dataset.

    Hi ehickey456 

    When you create a report with a published dataset , there are no query's available to edit .

    You will go directly to the edit page of the report and add some visuals. Because the data is obtained directly from the data source.

    When you are using DirectQuery you cannot make any changes because you are getting the data directly from the source. This is by design

    Hi,

    I have a similar challenge to the above but mine is that I want to make changes to the measures in a direct query model in a report I have due to KPI changes. I can't get these done in power BI service.

    How do I go about doing this?

     

    Thank you.
