Hi everyone, 

 

I would like to add data sources to a power bi dataset but obviously this is not possible.

Is there a trick?

Thank you in advance :

Hi @LD1 ,

 

The connection of connecting to a dataset is the live connection. You can only connect to one dataset in each report. In other words, a data source with live connection is not allowed to coexist with other data sources. This behavior is similar to the behavior when connected to SQL Server Analysis Services. However, the following article describes how a new feature in Power BI now makes this possible: see Using DirectQuery for Power BI datasets and Analysis Services (preview)
