Hi @HadiRajani,

 

As @Anonymous mentioned above, using excel data as direct query in Power BI is not supported currently. You can add it as an idea on Power BI Ideas to improve Power BI on this feature. Smiley Happy

Thanks for your response

@v-ljerr-msft to my understanding, Direct Query requires some DataBase Management System at the data source.

Or am I missing something?
