Can you use Analysis Services and another data source in one data set?

A User just asked me this question. If you have a report linked to analysis services and you want to Add some more data to the model, say from an xls spreadsheet, can you simply add that data? They basically just want to be sure you can work with more than just analysis services in the one data set for the report.

If you are using a live connection to AS, then no, not yet. I guess it may come.

Hi @DebbieE ,

It seems that you want to know if we could add another data source in the power bi report when we have connected with SSAS.

As MattAllington said, if you use connect live mode, we cannot add another data source, if you use Import mode, we could add another data source.

Best  Regards,
