Power BI provides users a variety of methods for connecting to data sources with natively built-in data connectors. The connector you choose for your solution will depend on where your data is located. Once you connect to a data source, you can decide on what type of query mode best suits your needs. Some connectors allow for zero latency in your results with the options of Direct Query or Live Connection. In this chapter, you learned about the benefits and disadvantages of each query mode, and you were given a method for weighting these options using a decision matrix. In the next chapter, you will learn more about how data transformations may be applied to your data import process so that incoming data will be properly cleansed.
