Dataset Query

Hi,

 

I am migrating reports from SAP BO to power BI. In BO I have universe which comprises of multiple tables(around 10) which are joined with each other. In power Bi i want to replicate the same. Should i create 1 dataset like BO or report wise dataset.

Merging more than two tables in Power BI  can be bit challenging and also creating 1 dataset can later have issues  while refreshing on premises gateway. So please suggest me the right approach.

 

Thanks
