OData from different databases

Hello,

 

I am trying to get data from two databases in the same report. I am using oData as source. However, when I am going to edit the data form one of the two databases the other one is diconnecting. Is it possible to use oData from different databases? How can I keep them connected and use my data in the same query?

    mariaHad,

    How do you connect to the two databases in Power BI Desktop? Could you please post the error message you get in Power BI Desktop? 

    Regards,
    Lydia

      Anonymous,

      Thank you for your response. 

       

      I am connecting to the databases with Basic method. I am adding the credentials and can edit the data of each one successfully. I don't receive any error message while I am adding the credentials. However, I can edit the data of only one database at a time because the other one is disconnected. The error message I received is: " We couldn't authonticate with the credentials provided. Please try again. -Edit Credentials-  ". I am editing the credentials of this database and the other one appears the same error. So I could not edit the data of both databases, at the same time, in a new query. (I have two different oData from different databases and I would like to create a new query with data of both of them)

        mariaHad,

        What OData URL do you use? Is there any dependency between the two URLs? What is the result if you start a new PBIX file?
