Can you link an SQL Table to Cube / warehouse data?

 

Hello,

New to Power BI / DW / Cubes, so not sure the approach to take for this question.  I have a query against our DW cube that returns totals for the departments (BDS, BGM, etc.). 

 

 

However, the TRT department data needs to pull from a SQL DB table to provide a more accurate count.  The warehouse / cube isn’t being updated at this point to have the correct TRT data.  What is the best approach to take 1 column from a SQL Table to include in the above visual.  Is there a Dax way to link and pull from the SQL table?   Or how would you link an SQL Table to cube data?

 

 

 

Thank you in advance,

Matt

  • DataFunness , Not very clear, but you should be able to create a measure to limit of SQL Table to date which max from the cube.

      Hello amitchandak ,

      That is where I am confused.  I will create a measure in the SQL Table, but how does the cube query link to the sql table?
