Microsoft Employeephilqc77 when you say "live connection" do you mean, an actual LIVE connection or a DQ connection? Because an actual LIVE connection is always just to one source. If you're talking about DQ connections, please give some more details on what source you're using.
Sorry, maybe I'm not using the right terminology. Here's what I did:
| 1. I created a live connection to a Power BI Dataset (let's call it ds1). No problem there. | |
| 2. Then I wanted to add another connection to another Power BI Dataset (ds2). I got this prompt which I was expecting and I clicked on "Add a local model". | |
| 3. Clicked "Submit" on the following. This is related to ds1. | |
| 4. Selected ds2 and clicked on "Create" | |
| 5. Clicked on "Submit". This is for ds2 | |
| 6. Then I got the login prompt which is unusual at this point. | |
| 7. Then I got the error. |
I did the exact same steps (using the same connection) on Power BI Desktop updated to dec 2021 and it worked flawlessly.
