Loading defaults to DQ
Is there a reson why all the table load defaults to DQ instead of import?
I am not even gettting the option to choose between DQ and Import for Storgae mode. How do I get past this.
Thank you in advance.

HI,smpa01Regarding the issue you raised, my solution is as follows:
1.The storage type can be changed, but as SaiTejaTalasila explains, there is a limit to the conversion between storage modes: you can change the direct query table to import mode, but you can't change the import mode to direct query.
Here is a screenshot of the official document:
2.If you've already imported your data into PBIX, you can try to modify it in the following places:
Find the corresponding semantic model you need to modify, and click on the following location:
Modify the position of the following figure:
3.If you want to change the storage mode in Desktop:
First of all, you can change it when you import the data:
Secondly, if you have imported data, you can also find a place to modify the storage mode in the table relationship:
4.The following documents are what we hope will help you.

Hi smpa01,
As per my knowledge, you can change direct query tables to import mode.And you can't change import mode to direct query(on a single click).
Thanks,
