Access Data from another account

Is it possible to connect to a Power BI Dataset that is on a seperate tenant to the one that I want to host the report?

 

ie. I have two logins for PBI ([email protected] and [email protected]) and am creating dashboardsand reports for the Workspace [email protected] 

 

The dataset I want to use is hosted on [email protected] workspace. 

 

Currently I am pulling data from the dataset uing Analyse in Excel and can easily connect to that to get the data, however I need to manually refresh the Excel table each time I want to update the data.

 

I am looking for a solution whereby I can automate the data refresh. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. 

  • Daz4 unfortunately that is not possible. Thru the Power BI desktop, you have no way to log in to a different tenant, it logs into the tenant based on your user account. I don't see it is possible at this point.
