Can I create dashboard w/ multiple datasets? I enabled Preview Option - DirectQuery for PBI datasets and AS, but can't add additional data sources. Ideally like to create dashboard with multiple streaming datasets (Push dataset), and additional DB/xls sources. Also, don't see in Modeling - Make Changes to Model.
Any/all information appreciated.
Hi
Dashboard is different in Power BI. It is collection of visuals(tiles) from different reports. I hope you are looking for reports from mulitple datasets.
I doubt on combining push datasets with other data sources - Check - https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Combine-data-comming-from-push-dataset-and-other-sources/m-...
On top of enabling preview feature, you also need to ensure you tenant allowed you to connect Power BI datasets as direct query. Check -https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-directquery-datasets-azure-analysis-s...
Thanks

I tried creating composite data model, but once I add streaming dataset, I can't add additonal datasets. I can add "regular" dataset, and other sources, but seems not able to create with streaming dataset.
Anyone have "work-around" to build composite model with streaming datasets? You'd think, you'd be able to add other sources to stream???
Thanks,
Jim T.
