I uploaded several datasets already available to me, and now i want to create a single report using them. Can there be a way to refer to multiple datasets in a single report?

Total must have. This could be the reason customers turn to other products or tools.

This feature would add tremendous flexibility in our scenario. MUST HAVE!

This is a must! This will take auto-refresh to a whole new level and allow PowerBI to compete so much more effectively over Tableau and Qlik - which both can do this.

RE: Accessing multiple datasets in single report

Seems crazy not to be able to do this. If you have a lot of historical data you can query it into a dataset, and not have to refresh it all the time... it can just be there. Then you would only have to query going forward...

RE: Accessing multiple datasets in single report

Really need this as the speedy proliferation of data sets starts to get very untidy, very quickly.
Even the option to use a Power BI service source to drive an existing report by manually changing the fields. Laborious but at least reports can share data sources.
It's not as if they are similar sources - they are the same

RE: Accessing multiple datasets in single report

This is a feature that we really need as well in order to utilize Power BI's potential.

RE: Accessing multiple datasets in single report

From OMS we can configure to push data to Power BI, but it is creating separate dataset for each OMS rule/queries. If we need to create single report from multiple dataset then it is not possible.

We need to have filters at report level from multiple dataset. Dashboard also not solving this usecase. OMS is not having enough option to view the data or enlarge the graphs.
