In my Power BI Report, my dataset is coming from 2 different data source, OneDrive & SQL Analysis Services. In schedule refresh, how can I refresh these 2 data data source independently, so that even if Analysis Services fails, OneDrive Data can get refreshed

@Anonymous - as you've discovered, refresh is all or nothing. You cannot have different sources refreshed on different schedules, and when one source fails, the entire refresh is halted.

Hi @Anonymous ,

I found no solution to refresh data source independently in one dataset. Once there is a problem with one of the data sources, the refresh will fail and none of the data sources will be refreshed.

As a workaround, I suggest you use Composite mode in your dataset. Composite mode can mix Import and DirectQuery modes, or integrate multiple DirectQuery data sources. For more details, please refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/service-dataset-modes-understand

@v-deddai1-msftThanks for reply, it has helped me to a new perspective for this issue.

I have read the article, from the article I came to understand that to create a composite model, direct query is required. Now, the issue is that for connecting to SQL Analysis Services, I have to use SQL Server Analysis Services database connector of Power BI Dekstop, which only have Import or Connect Live, connection options, how can I use direct query using this connector

Hi @Anonymous ,

Unfortunately, SSAS does not support DQ mode, as edhans said, You cannot have different sources refreshed on different schedules, and when one source fails, the entire refresh is halted. I can't think of anything other than putting these two data sources in different datasets.

@Anonymous I'm not sure there is a way to do that, @ImkeF @edhans ?
