Allow more than one data source for Direct Queries.

[David_Botzenhar]

In order to make Direct query more useful it needs to support data from more than one source.

This can already be done is just your connection becomes an import rather than a direct query. if you are consuming your reports in Power BI Desktop the refresh will update your data sources. If you consume this on Report server you can then schedule a refresh at whatever interval you desire and your data source will be refreshed when report is consumed. I think the confusion in this idea is it is not specific enough. I believe the need is to be able to connection to different types of data sources within a PBIX for example an SSAS and SQL connection at once.

This is a most!

We are planning to adopt Power BI and this feature is an absolute must. But unfortunately this is not available. The equivalent feature seems to be available in Tableau 10. https://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/joining_tables.html

This would be very useful. We have a lot of RSS feeds (40+) on the web with data that we want to pull into a single report, but have no capability of doing so.

[alltasksIT]

Yes we need

[rayishome1]

When will you include SSAS connections

[harikrishnav1]

That could be better to provide multiple data source access for live connection (direct query)

[chanilkumar01]

I see multi data source for Direct Query is available for MS SQL but not working for SAP HANA. Can I know when this feature is available for HANA source system?

[desere_kruger]

When will this feature be deployed so that we are able to publish our models?

Hi, Does this mean I can use what if parameters for my Direct Query dashboards in PowerBI. com? I have been waiting for this feature. If this is not yet possible. I would like to submit this as an idea. Thanks.
