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!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Yael,
With composite models, a 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.
