Have you wondered how you can deliver real-time data from an import model in power BI?
This is possible when you are on a Power BI premium capacity.
How to do this:
1. Publish your dataset to Power BI service (designated premium workspace)
2. Set up an import table with incremental refresh.
3. Enable the Get the latest data in real-time with DirectQuery option.
As illustrated on the image below:

By enabling option (3), import table becomes a hybrid table with two partitions namely:
Import partition to store older data.
A single DirectQuery partition for current data.
Hence when Power BI queries a hybrid tay uses the cache for older data, and passes through data source to retrieve current data.

- This is only available with a Premium license.
