Semantic data model in Power BI service using direct query mode

Hey Hitu,

Unfortunately, creating DirectQuery semantic models directly in Power BI Service isn't supported currently.

• Service requires Desktop for initial DirectQuery model creation
• Amazon Athena connector needs Desktop setup first
• No workaround exists for pure Service-based creation
