Add Multiple MS SQL data source with same queries

Hi Everyone, 

 

I am new here, hopefully I have posted this question to a correct topic 🙂

 

I have lot of MSSQL Server on client side with the same database and data structure, and I would like to make Query for all of them and union them in Power BI Desktop, but to do the same data source creation steps and data transformation steps more then 100 times sounds not so efficient. At the end the union is only one step 🙂

 

I have tried to use Power Query for this, but I am out of ideas.

Are there any solution to automatize the Query creation for all datasources like with PowerShell API or something like that?

I would like to fetch the data in Direct Query way.

 

Thank You for your help, 

BR, 

Sipi

Direct Query?  What's your reason for not doing this in a SQL Server View then?
