Hi Anonymous ,

 

The "database" you mentioned means "dataset", right?

 

If it is, based on my test, it is not supported yet currently. You can come up a new idea about that and add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.

 

If not, it just means "database", you can connect to databases that appear on the page when creating a dataflow.

But, to my knowledge, there are no measures in databases, except SSAS. But Power BI Dataflow can't connect to SSAS currently.

 

 

 

Best Regards,

Icey
