List of Data Sources with Supported Connection modes

Hi

There was a table-like structure with all data sources and their support connection mode (Import, Direct, Live) mentioned on the below link
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/power-bi-data-sources


It seems this page has been recently updated. or that list has been removed.

Could you please guide me to where is that available now?

Hi  @srb803 ,

 

The following link is an introduction and difference between the three connection modes, I hope it will help you:

DirectQuery in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

What's the difference between live connections and DirectQuery? - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Dataset modes in the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

 

Best Regards,
