Under ReviewComposite models when connected to AS models (PBI datasets and Azure Analysis Services)

We really love the new feature of 'Composite Models' in the Power BI July 2018 update! This enables us to join custom lists with DirectQuery sources.
It would also be beneficial if this would also work when connected to SSAS Tabular in DirectQuery.
This would stronlgy improve the enterprise features of Power BI.

It will be fantastic if PowerBi allow us to Connecting to multiple data sources with IMPORT and Connection live in the same powerbi file. I need to do a Connection live using a CUBe and also import some excel table and today PowerBi is not support this. thanks.Miriam

Would be super if we could combine extra data with our Enterprise Multidimensional cubes

Coming from Tableau where I used this feature (connecting to multiple datasets, both on a local drive or on Tableau server) in MANY scenarios, it was extremely helpful (consistency, consolidation, multiple copies of data sources, efficiency, etc.. etc..). As some mentioned already, it is a game changer indeed!
I read a few comments here and there like: "why do you need multiple datasets when you can create dashboards from multiple datasets?" or something along those lines. My response to these comments would be: If you are dealing with multiple and/or big data sources, you will appreciate this capability! Also, you just need to use this capability once and I'm quite certain the comments would be of a different tone.
So it goes without saying, I would love to see this feature and capability in Power BI.

This functionality would be a GREAT add and give us much more flexibility!

Can't believe this still hasn't been addressed...

Please add this

Its a huge limitation, struggle to see why power bi doesnt support microsofts own SSAS tabular.

Please add this functionality. This is a huge limitation.
