= Sql.Database (Server, Database, [Query= - Can I access 2 different Database name in a sub query

Hi everyone,
My problem is I have SQL subquery imported into Power BI to load data and also created a Database parameter so users can easily change the data sources whenever they want to change the Server name and database name.

In the Power Query, I see that "Sql.Database (Server, Database, [Query=" can not add more database which I have used in the sub-query! I can not find a way to config this. Does anyone have way to fix this parameter or the Power Query!

Thanks in Advance

You cannot dynamically change the server name.  You can run native queries that swap out the database name if the database is on the same server and you have access to both databases.

 

It is possible to change the server name via parameters in the service, or as part of deployment pipelines.

Thanks! I'll try this way to set up for my report
