Hi,
Thank you for sharing the info.
What I am looking is I have a separate excel spreadsheet which has data from Accounting department and I am also pulling the data from SQL server from various tables, so is there any way I can combine the data from these two different sources into one and then further can present my data in Power BI.
Thanks
