Missing tables from Dataflow

Hi,

 

I have recently created a dataflow, I did not want to bring every table across from my SQL source as there was hundreds.

 

What is the easiest way to be able to add another table in from the same datasource already generating the other tables?

 

I was worried adding the same SQL datasource again would duplicate the datasources? i ideally want to be able to go back to the navigator and select another couple of tables on top of the ones I have, is anything like that possible?

You wanted to add another table in same Dataflow, below are 3 easy steps
1. Copy paste existing table
2. Delete all the steps after navigation

3. change the table name in navigation step

 

 

Adding new table will not duplicate your data source.
