Searching for data tables

How to search or filter tables through data source?

you can try naming conventions e.g: if the data is coming from SQL then name it SQL_prodTable, if it is coming from excel then name it Excel_CustTable etc.  or try to organize it within folder.  Also, Power BI's data lineage view allows you to visualize how data flows from the source to the dataset. While this doesn't change how tables are displayed in the table view, it can help you understand and document where each table's data is coming from.

No, I meant I have data coming in power BI from different sources. In the table view of Power BI desktop, how can I segregate the tables based on data source?
