    The Power BI Service is the name for the online portal for Power BI, where you publish reports and datasets to.

     

    So, use Power BI Desktop to create your model and publish it to here as normal.

     

    You can then edit this published report in the Power BI Service and add a developer visual, which can then utilise this more complex data model.

I presume your single dataset is a result of creating the report in the Power BI Service from 'Get Data'? It's not the best place to start modelling from if doing anything more complex than a single dataset. If you publish your desktop report to the Power BI Service (online), then you will be able to use multiple datasets.

 

powerbi-visuals-tools is used for custom visuals development has no effect on the datasets you're using in your report.
