Power BI datasets

Now it is only possible to connect from Power bI Desktop to Power to 1 BI dataset. If you have on Power Bi Servics more datasets, like for different sources hr, finance, sales, operations it would be nice to have teh possibility to connect to more than 1 Power BI dataset in 1 Power BI Desktop Dashboard/Reports file and publish this to Power BI Services. You can see Power BI dataset as a datamart and it would be nice to integrate all in 1 dashboard. What is your opinion ?

RE: power bi datasets

Yes, please allow to import from datasets as the first step.
Then - allow to combine live connections with common dimensions...
Thanks!

RE: power bi datasets

Import mode from Power BI datasets will already be a great thing

RE: power bi datasets

This ides should have title like: Combine Datasets or Reuse Datasets.

RE: power bi datasets

This would allow me to create and reuse datasets/models.
Right now I am forced to re-create elements (like dimensions, facts, measures...) that I need to share between multiple models.

RE: power bi datasets

Agreed - It would be great to connect to Power BI datasets in the service via Import Mode. Similar to how AAS allows you to connect via Import, but still respecting the RLS rules defined in the model.

RE: power bi datasets

Agreed! Creation of multiple data models to be combined into a single reporting tool is a valuable feature.

RE: power bi datasets

Absolitelly agree! It would add flexibility to the feature.
