Creating one PowerBI Dataset/report from multiple data sources

akasthan — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 17:46:31 GMT

Hello,

We are trying to create PowerBI dashboard and its dataset involves multiple sources.

One from Azure Data Explorer (Kusto) and other for Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 1. The problem is that different users have access to these sources and have different type of accounts.

For eg:

Azure Data Explorer (Kusto) : user1@microsoft.com

Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 1: user2_debug@prdtrs01.prod.outlook.com

As of now PowerBI dataset is allowing credentials of only one user and because of this we cannot schedule data refresh.

Is there a way we can provide multiple credentials in a single dataset?

@akasthan So these should show up as 2 different data sources when you go to File | Options and settings | Data source settings and then edit the credentials for both of them.

@Greg_Deckler Thanks. I was not the owner of Dataset so couldnt see that option. I took over the dataset and it gave 2 options for credentials for different data sources.
