    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.

    critical to be able to switch to import in order to allow some of the forecasting / predictive scenarios.

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

    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.
