Importing multiple tables from Power BI dataset? (premium license only)

[unicorns]

Hello,

I currently have a pro license so I'm not sure how importing Power BI dataset into the desktop file works- it looks like it's premium feature only. From researching, it seems that you can only import 1 table at a time? is that true?

I currently have a Power BI dataset in our workspace and that dataset consists of multiple tables. 

If I have a premium license, can I import all those tables or it only allows one table import under premium license? 

thanks for your help

Hi @unicorns,

When you connect to datasets in Power BI Service from Power BI Desktop, all the table in the datasets will load into Power BI Desktop, it is not about what kind of license you have.

When you use the Power BI service live connection, keep a few considerations and limitations in mind.

• Only users with Build permission for a dataset can connect to a published dataset by using the Power BI service live connection.
• Free users only see datasets that are in their My Workspace and in Premium-based workspaces.
