connecting data sources

Hello,

I'm connecting Live to Tabular model and using PBI. Is there a way I can add an excel as an additional data source and use both Tabular and Excel at the same report?

Thnaks!

Hi @Yael,

 

With composite modelsa report can seamlessly include data connections from more than one DirectQuery or import data connection, in any combination you choose.

thanks @v-yulgu-msft. But about connecting live with Tabular? Can I use excel there too?

Hi @Yael,

 

If you mean SSAS Tabular model, yes, it is supported.
