Can't connect to multiple Power BI Datasets
I have logged this as an issue as it appears to be a bug with the Power BI software following an update: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/Can-t-connect-to-multiple-Power-BI-datasets/idi-p/2475115
Please upvote and let's see if they can offer a fix for this.
Seems like the issue has been fixed. Thanks everyone!
Thanks for replying, but I've looked at those articles before.
The preview feature is enabled otherwise I wouldn't be able to go all the way to the end of the process of choosing the second dataset.
I am also able to do it in Excel (can add many PowerBI Datasets), but in Power BI I get the error message below when I'm adding the second dataset.
Hi,
I am having the exact same issue as you here. It previously worked perfectly until this week, now it is resulting in the same error. We have also followed all steps in the articles suggested.
Could this be a wider issue with Power BI? The 'Unable to connect' message appears instantly so shouldn't be because the connection timed out. Also, the server and database name was generated automatically by Power BI so surely wouldn't be incorrect.
