Connecting Multiple Data Sources

I'm familiar with pulling in multiple data sources into a single model but I ran into some issues and I'm looking for advice on the next steps.

Today, I connected a new file to a PowerBI dataset and it prevented me from connecting to any other data sources in that file,  I tried this multiple times/multiple ways to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong and I received a dialog box that told me it couldn't be done (vs just graying out the 'get data' options).  Ok, I get that this won't work; no problem, now I need to look for other solutions.

My next idea is to pull the data directly from a SQL query.  But before I set this up, I want to know whether or not I'm going to run into the same problem.  If I connect to a SQL query, will I still be able to connect to Salesforce/Excel in the same file?
