Hello, Is it possible to connect Multiple PBI Dataset into 1 Power BI Report? I created an App to show all my Dashboard in just one link and i want to create a 1 PBI Dashboard summary for all 4 PBI Dashboard. I've tried to Get Data > PBI Dataset but it only allow me to use 1 dataset, is there any other way to do this? Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
For DirectQuery, when using Get Data in Power BI Desktop to connect to a data source, the behavior of that connection is as follows:

Hello, thanks let me search more about the use of DQ. Im currently new to this and i only know power bi dataset hehe
@Anonymous
Sorry to add this but I had to,
To answer your initial question, yes you can connect a report to multiple datasets from multiple workspaces as long as you have the Edit permission to them 4 datasets. Those datasets don't need to be in a DQ mode to be able to use them. Recently added , you can now use composite models connection https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/desktop-composite-models where you can have a report built on top of multiple sources through multiple ways.
Hope you get to read this.

Hello, i've tried to import my dataset on my own workspaces but it doesnt allow me to import 1 more, even if im the author do i need to grant permission to use the PBI dataset and enable to use it?
Don't know the way you are trying to do it, But these 4 datasets cannot reside in "My Worksapce", They have to be in shared Workspaces, You have the Edit permission to these 4 datasets, you have the permission to connect to multiple Datasets and Dataflows from your desktop (Ask the Power bi Admin if not) and finally check the box I showed you in my previous message. Of course at least Power BI Pro license is needed.
Let me know.

I see! I think my organization doesnt have PowerBI Pro but ill still try this when the PBI Admin is online tomorrow thanks!
Hi @Anonymous ,
The default connection mode for PowerBI datasets is LC.
In this connection mode, connecting to multiple data sources is not supported.
If you want to connect to multiple PowerBI datasets, you need to convert them to DQ mode.

Hello, is this dataflow?
Hi @Anonymous ,
No, DQ is DirectQuery. It is one of the connection mode of power bi dataset.

Ohh i see, so i need to convert the dataset to DQ so that i can them those 4 dataset in another PBI Dashboard, last question: If the dataset are updated, those files that are converted to DQ will be updated too?
