    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    If you connect the LC(live connection) data source, you cannot connect to other data sources. Similarly, after connecting a data source, you cannot connect to the LC data source. You can change the data set of LC mode to DQ(Direct Query) mode, and then connect to the data source of SQL Server (import mode or DQ mode is fine).
