How can I avoid using "SET DATEFIRST 1" instruction? - sql

Question

I need to use the "DirectQuery" function on PowerBI Desktop.
When i try to load the data PBI stops the process because of the "SET DATEFIRST 1" instruction at the beginning of the query.
That happens because PBI elaborates the request like 'SELECT * FROM (Myquery)' and that throws a syntax error near "SET".
I'm asking you if there is a way that allows me to set Monday as the first day of the week without using the "SET DATEFIRST 1" instruction.
Here it is the query i'm talking about:
SET DATEFIRST 1;
