Verify the use of 'Import' or 'Direct Query'

‎09-07-2017 07:41 AM

Good morning

 

I have some reports working and made in the last month, using Sql server data (db).

 

I need to verify if in these reports the data are read using 'Import' or 'Direct Query'

 

many thanks

@perpor in the Desktop you can select Edit Queries -> Data Source Settings -> it will show you import or direct query

If you are in the Service you can click on the elipses next to the dataset -> Settings -> and the gateway should tell you if you are in direct query mode. (If it doesn't, you can just check if you can create a scheduled refresh, you can with import, you can't with direct query).
