    Hi Anonymous ,

    You could write the T-SQL which could get data from mutiple databases under SQL Statement.

    You can run the query in your Sql Server databsed firstly, if that works successfully, then you could copy it under SQL Statement in power bi desktop.

    In addition, you could refer to the query below and modify it based on your scenario.

    select * from [server].[database].[schema].[table]
union
select * from [server].[database2].[schema].[table]
union
select * from [server].[database3].[schema].[table]

    Hope this can help you.

    Best  Regards,
