Hi Anonymous ,

I have a little confused about your scenario.

By my tests, I could connect with Microsoft Exchange Online with two different email address in the same pbix file.

I'm not clear what problems do you have. 

If it is convenient, could you describe your sceanrio in more details and share the error message if you have so that we could help further on it.

Best  Regards,

Cherry

    Hi Anonymous ,

    Which authentication do you select?

    I used Microsoft account and then you enter the account and password which is email account you connected.

    Best Regards,
