Changing a Direct Query Power BI Model without Importing all data

Hi pquian,
Your statement -> currently all DQ data must come from the same database (also case sensitive) was the key.

Thanks for your help!
Yes, unfortunately we currently have to put in this restriction based on the user supplied connection info. We are working on lifting this restriction in the future.
Glad your problem is solved :)
