    Hi fhm_2022 ,
    You will have two different sources of data, two different pages in your power bi report. The short answer is no these do not need to be connected in the data model. This is actually very simple to do.  Set this up in your desktop, and then publish to the Power BI Service.  You will need to set up two different gateways - one to each datasource, and then set your dataset to automatic refresh. The Service goes out to each data source and gets the refreshed data.  It gets more complicated when you DO WANT the sources to be connected. I can reccommend Matt Allington's book Supercharge Power BI for around $30 on Amazon.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks, Nathan! I really appreciate. Do the tables need to be connected in the model view, or they can stand alone without being connected?

Hi fhm_2022 ,

Please give me more details.  If I understood your first post, my answer to this post is no they do not. I will post a sample pbix for you, but a little more info is needed.
