Hierarchies in Analyze in excel with Direct Query

[SHHargrove]

Creating my first Direct Query Power BI report and testing Analyze in Excel.  I notice that none of my Hierarchies appear in Excel, even though they do when in Cached mode.  Have I done something wrong, or is that expected behavior?  I would like it to work.

Otherwise, I'm optimistic about this approach.

Any updates?

Hi @SHHargrove,

>> I notice that none of my Hierarchies appear in Excel, even though they do when in Cached mode. 

Since I'm not very clear your issue, can you share some detail contents?

In the images below, you'll see that the Product dimension in Power BI includes a "Products" hierarchy.  However in Excel (using Analyze in excel from the same Power BI dataset) the "Products" hierarchy does not appear.

Hi @SHHargrove,

If you try to use the hierarchy which created at database, does it analysis in excel succeed? I think excel can't analysis the hierarchy columns which created in power bi.

ExcelThis picture is from Analyze in Excel when not using Direct Query in Power BI.

Clearly the difference is Direct Query.

 Was this ever resolved still seems to be the case. They only way to get Hierarchys to show up is to convert the entire model to Import mode. Even if all tables involved in the Hierarchy are moved to Import a single separate table in DQ mode kills the hierarchy from Excel Pivot fields.
