DirectQuery in Power BI

‎12-03-2015 07:18 AM

I tried to load some views using DirectQuery mode and I get the error message "Impersonation is not supported in DirectQuery mode. Turn off impersonation or switch to import mode."  What does this mean?

@earg73 I was able to fix this error by ensuring that the user that i'm using to connect to the SQL server was specificity mapped as a user on the actual database contained within my view. even if your user is a admin make sure that they are also mapped to the db that your view is accessing.
