    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.

The turn-around for your problem may be that you can turn-off the refresh data option of the table that are loaded from the databace and turn-on the tables that are loaded from the onedrive.

 

This can be achieved in Power BI desktop 

 

Power BI Desktop > Home > Transform data > Click on table name > Click on All Properties on right side > uncheck include in report refresh option 

 

 

The tables unchecked will not load when refreshed in Power BI Service.

 

Hope this answers your questions 

 

Thanks
