Hi, could someone help me? I would like to connect to an SQL database, however, would I like to be able to change that database on the back end? Or instead of connecting to the bank indicating the bank name, connect using a connection string (from web.config). Any tips?
Is it possible for the same PowerBi to be used with more than one database? WebConfig bank.
Hi @GustavoSouza ,
1.You can try to create a parameter in Query Editor to solve your database name, when you connect to data source, just transfer the value in the parameter to connect
2.You can use more than one databases in the same power bi if the connection mode is Import or Direct Query.
