    Hi DanUlrich

     

    In Power Bi service, you can create multi reports by the same dataset, However you cannot create one report by using different dataset. One way to work around, creating dashboard could combine different visuals from different reports. Also you can connect to all the data sources of different datasets and import the data by Power BI desktop, then you can use all the data.

You can get the speadsheet through the OneDrive link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a--TpY5sYqk). From there, you can pull your data from the database using the dataset you published. Publish this report/dataset, and then schedule the refreshes!

I did this, but the point is: on my report there is data from the spreadsheet and from a database. When I publish on powerbi service, it all became a single dataset, so I can not schedule the refresh to the data that came from the spreadsheet since powerbi service see it all as a single dataset.
