Include additional table or query result using existing DB source
Hi AndrewP,
So far you could use import mode, but DQ and Import mode are different from refreshing schedule and another points. In my mind, i hope DQ could have this mixing source in future version of PBI.
Again, if we ignore the direct query aspect of my original question, how could I just include an additional table while using the same source? For example, I set up the initial source and choose 2/10 tables, but I want to use 4/10 tables. How would I select the additional 2 tables without creating a second source?
Hi AndrewP,
With Import mode, when you choose n-tables and refresh, PBI will generate separate n-queries to your source as SQL queries. So when you want to add 2 more tables after added 2 tables, you just choose get data/recent sources and select 2 additional tables. Is this your concern?
No.
When I started I created a new database source and selected specific tables.
I would like to modify that to include more tables.
How can I do that, and ONLY that?
(Recent sources is empty)
Hi AndrewP,
I got your point now, your expectation could be and could not ^_^
- if your sources are SQL DB, you have no way to open the select list dialog and tick or untick. (so you have to choose recent sources/get data to add another tables)
- if your sources are CUBE (SSAS Cube), go to Edit Queries, choose the query in left navigation panel, and double click Added Item in Query Setting panel in the right. Now you could select more dim/facts (it's dim or fact, not table)
