Calculating percentage based on values in two reports

Hi, 

 

I've got a dashboard, which incorporates pages from a couple of different reports. These reports are each tied to a real time streaming dataset (first report tied to "assets" streaming dataset, second report tied to "os_metrics" streaming dataset). This is due to the limitation of reports only being allowed to have one real time streaming dataset when selecting "get data". As such, I have added the two reports to a dashboard to link them together.

 

My goal here is to caculate a percentage (ideally visualised in a new dashboard tile) based on one value from each of the two reports shown in the screenshot below. E.g. I would like to calulate, in a new tile, the percentage that "Unique assets with" (from the second report) is of "Databases All" (from the first report).

 

Is this possible? (essentially my question is: is it possible to do calculations based on cards from two seperate reports, and visualise the result in a dashboard). If not, how could I architect my reports so that metrics can be computed, based on measures from two streaming datasets, and visualised in a dashboard?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any help would be appreciated - will happily provide more info if this is unclear. 

 

Thanks

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    //Is this possible? (essentially my question is: is it possible to do calculations based on cards from two seperate reports, and visualise the result in a dashboard). 

    -- Currently, this is not possible.

    This requires combining data sources and calculating it in desktop. Using DirectQuery for Power BI datasets does not support real-time datasets, so they cannot be combined on the desktop.

    Please consider if it can be calculated at the data source level.
