Combining multiple databases into one db

Hello all,

 

I am currently working on 1 server with 23 databses with the same tables and columns. Is there a way that we can consolidate those 23 dbs into one and have their tables be combined or merged so that I can create a consolidated report.

I have already tried searching for ways and also tried using query parameters but I was not able to get it right, can anyone help me on this please.

Any suggestions or help will be very much appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Leon - 

Have you ever used "Folder as a source" in the Query Editor?  You can probably use the same approach for multiple databases/tables.

 

Essentially what you end up doing is creating a custom function that you then pass the database/table information into and the custom function parses the table.  Then it will ultimately extract all that data into one final table in the Query Editor.

 

Here's a post on the community I found that might answer your question: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/How-to-connect-multiple-database-with-same-table-in-Power-B...

 

Hope that helps.
