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.

It's hard to believe this feature is not yet implemented because it seems so important since the first Power BI version.

Without this ability it causes major rework

This is extremely limiting and even if the move back to import is not seamless it would be good to have the option so that we can at least have the choice between the effort required to rebuild the visuals vs creating any missing objects in M or DAX.

I also had this issue for several times. It is very time consuming to build the report completey new.

This needs more votes for sure. Seems like a huge oversight to not have this.

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

I have created a very complex, universal report for our business, that has lots of pages, visuals, buttons, bookmarks, etc. It has been iterated over several months, but we realized recently that we should have done Import Mode for better performance and not Live Query. Since there is no easy way to convert live query to import mode, it means that we might have to pretty much start over if we want to go on import mode for better performance. Even with the copying/pasting feature, I can still see this project taking 2 weeks... this is a must, and I wish it had more than 253 votes...
