How can we import data from multiple sql queries returning the same number and type of columns into

SQL to DAX 

 

How can we import data from multiple sql queries returning the same number and type of columns into a new table using power bi?
For example i have 10 sql select queries. They return 3 columns Result, Tests, Quantity
I want to create a new table in power bi with columns Result, Tests, Quantity. This new table should be populated from the 3 sql queries

Hi @AntrikshSharma Thanks. Coincidently, I saw your Youtube videos today 😊

I will try with Union All 

Another conern would be that each of those queries query on a fact tables with high volume. 

Is there another performant way to get the result of the individual sql queries in the target table.

This might be for later but I also wish to schedule this run/refresh every two weeks

@LV6001 Use UNION ALL to combine them first?

@LV6001 You can create a View that stores all queries. You can also try to create a materialized/indexed view as well.

CREATE SCHEMA PowerBI
GO

CREATE VIEW PowerBI.CombinedSales
AS
	SELECT * 
	FROM FactSales1
		UNION ALL
	SELECT * 
	FROM FactSales2
		UNION ALL
	SELECT * 
	FROM FactSales3

Thank you  @AntrikshSharma !!

I am able to achieve the required using UNION ALL 

I am now trying to schedule a refresh on the report server
