Hi,
Is there a way to convert the storage mode from direct query to import mode without having to delete and redo the entire model?
I have a report where I pull multiple power bi datasets, in which I apply additional tables and modelling to link these datasets together. The report is loading very slowly (especially when creating calculated columns and measures), so I want to convert the storage mode into import to improve the load time. However, the storage mode dropdown is greyed out:
Is there a way I can change the storage mode? Thank you!
Hi @Anonymous ,
You can go to Power BI Desktop, go to Model view-->Advanced and change the storage mode from DirectQuery to Import .
Similar issue is also resolved in this particular community post . You also follow that post :
