    Hi amaaiia Yes, you can convert your DirectLake semantic model to Import mode:

    1. Export the .pbix file of semantic_model_2 from Fabric workspace_2.

    2. Open it in Power BI Desktop, switch all tables to Import storage mode.

    3. Save and republish it to Fabric workspace_2.

    4. Update Report_1 to use the modified model.
