    Hi AlexNL,

    Thank you for reaching out in Microsoft Community Forum.

    You're right: currently, Power BI doesn't support combining tables from different sources (like UNION) directly in Power Query within a composite model. While there are some workarounds (like using DAX or external views), there's no true "Power BI only" solution for this at the moment.

    This is a great feature idea, and I’d definitely recommend submitting it on the https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/PBI_Comm_Ideas  -  it's feedback like this that helps drive improvements.


    Please continue using Microsoft Community Forum.
