Hi team,
We have 4 DW environments, Dev, Test, UAT & Prod and I have a Data Quality report and can change data source between the 4 environments to look for issues. Is there is a way to show on the report, which data source I have connected to without going to Data Source Settings? I would prefer an obvious visual indicator that would just parse the name of the data source to a powerbi visual. Alternately is there a way to use colours to demonstrate which data source a report is using e.g. a red banner for DEV, green for PROD etc.
With thanks,
Tim

HI @todea,
Power query not support to show the original database information.
For your scenario, I'd like to suggest you to modify your formula to use query parameter to get data. Then use these parameter to create a table to log the data source information.
For example:
let Source = Sql.Databases(Server){[Name=Database]}[Data] in Source
Notice: Server and Database are query parameters.
Sourceinfo Table:
let Source = #table( type table[ #"Server"=text, #"Database"=text ], {{Server,Database}}) in Source
