Shared Datasets - limited to one share?

‎09-16-2019 06:43 AM

Hi there,

 

this seems a silly question to ask, and I think I already know the answer but I'm genuinely surprised by the answer that I have to check it!! (I've googled it and can't find anything)

I was looking into Shared Datasets and like the idea of adding permissions at a data level. However;

 

Can you add more than one shared Dataset to a report? I'm surprised, but it seems I can't! Once I've added one it doesn't allow me to add any more. (Get Data is greyed out)

 

Is this correct? Am I doing something wrong?

 

Thanks.

@Anonymous yes when you are using live connection, you can have only one dataset in the model.

Appreciate the clarity - I think it's a flaw and will render it useless to me.
