2 distinct data sources in one query
i have solved this-thank you no action needed
what a good solution thanks for this insight big help
ok so instead first use power query to get on prem required mysql data source and once i keep only the columns i want and i add my dax codes then save it . to power bi service right?
2then in paralell use separate power query with only dataverse data source (no gateway needed) and again establish data and publish to power bi service
3 then you are saying use data model instead? meaning within power query click the data model to do relationships between two query right? but wont i first need to have obtained the data source that is on prem into the query anyway? not clear how to do the data model you reference or what the steps are-can you send general steps please?
Create two queries in Power Query, one for your on-Prem MySQL and one for your Dataverse.
Load both queries into Power BI
Join the tables in the data model
sorry not clear here so query 1 is done- i took data soruce dataverse-did my power query transform and saved it in my power bi desktop
query 2 which has an on prem gateway is also done-again brought it into this same power bi desktop but not clear what you mean on how join table will somehow not require the one published report and dataset to not require both to be on prem for the automated daily refresh when publihsed to power bi service so can you send me a smaple scren shot pls of a generic query 1 and query 2 on what you are recmmmedning is the steps?
Power Query:
Power BI:
sorry still an issue here-again ive used power query and service many times just this is first time to do with one on prem and one non on prem and yes goal is when publish not require both to be on prem.
So not clear still- step 1 is what exactly- connect to mysql data source and then in power query transform and save the file (mysql file in BI desktop)-right?
Step 2 then is from a new power bi desktop obtain the detaverse data source -transform in power query and save into desktop as dataverse.
you are first saying do 2 separate power query for each source but then you are saying connect id data model- so how are you adding the two separate queries into the same power bi without adding data source to the dataverse or the mysql BI desktop?
