Once a report is created with an SSAS source using Connect Live, the mode cannot currently be switched to Import. This is frustrating if we have a report that we decide we want to publish to the web.

RE: Support switching SSAS connect model from "Connect Live" to "Import"

Need this feature so badly. I have a live connection to a Power BI data set which I need to remove and change it to import or even enter data manually. I think this should be available from very beginning as a standard feature.

This is an important feature. Because now i have a live connection to MS Cube environment and I wanted to document all measures with external tools but those tools cannot connect to PBI desktop because it has a live connection to cloud.

This feature is needed because once it is created it does not allow the flexibility to modify the queries and add DAX logic.

This would also be very helpful for maintaining report templates:
- need to be based on Live connected reports
- but also require showing some data (need to use Import)
