Difference Between Import Mode and direct Query :

Import Mode :

→ copy of data into power bi file(PBIX)

→ Writing data into a file

and it is extremely fast because it writes in a powerBI file

Limits Up to the size of data - Don't Have Premium Account

Limits Up to the size of data - Have Premium Account

Import option : 10GB

Direct Mode :

Need Connection to data source every time

It doesn't write data into a pbix file. Every time it reads data from the server

A little bit slow compared to import mode

→ when it is published. It requires Gateway Connection to pull data into the service

Dataset Limitation using direct query

1 Million Rows

Limited Functionalities in Direct query whereas in import mode we can use all the functionalities

Ex: Direct query Limits up to Certain Datasources

We can take only one data source in the report while using direct query
