I have connected to Teradata database using Direct Query Method and accessing the PowerBI service as another data source. This is not allowing in PowerBI Desktop. It is displaying the below message:

The connect live option for this file is disabled because it already contains data from another data source. you cannot explore live data and connect to another type of data source in the same file. Create a new file to explore live data.

Please provide your inputs on hot to use the mixed data sources(among them one should be PowerBI Service)

RE: Connection to PowerBI Service as Data source in PowerBI Desktop

there are some other powerBI reports and dashboards created by my coworkers and I want to use some reports from their dashboard or dataset and create another report for myself. This will allow me build relational ship between my reports and other people in the organizations.
