connected to semantic model using Live Connect shows Import Mode but does not show Table View?

Hi BenBlackswan ,

To understand different connection modes you can refer this -

Hi SaiTejaTalasila ,thanks for the quick reply, I'll add further.

Hi BenBlackswan ,

Regarding your question, the connection to the shared semantic model is 'Live Connection'. Details can be found in the following article.

Connect to semantic models in the Power BI service from Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Since the only options for the storage model are 'import', 'direct query', 'dual', there is no 'live connection'. I think that's why 'import' is displayed, because neither 'import' nor 'live connection' can be modified. You can confirm your connection mode here.
