Executable Query when Joined multiple tables.

 

 Hi,

One of the things that I'm trying to find a Query from Power BI Desktop to run in SSMS:

- I have a SQL Server database that has two tables, a customer table and an invoice table

- I'd like to bring these into PBI together to build some dashboards, reports, etc.

- The primary keys in both are a Company ID and a Customer ID

-If its Crystal Report or SSRS, we can pull the Query (with tables and joins) and can be executable in SSMS. However, In power BI I have to go to each Query and select Source to get the info. But not a executable query

Hi @sandeepk66,

 

SQL query is also execuable in Power BI desktop. You can input the SQL Query when creating Data Source connection as is shown in below image. Then, a Joined table will be loaded into Power BI rather than multiple separate tables.
