Multiple connectors in one report?

Is it possible to use multiple connectors, as in using the Salesforce Objects connector, Dynamics connector and GitHub connector to obtain data from each?  

 

Thanks

HI @tt3 

 

Yes, it is possible to use multiple connectors in Power BI to obtain data from different sources. You can use the Salesforce Objects connector, Dynamics connector, and GitHub connector, or any other connectors that Power BI supports, to connect to different data sources and retrieve data.

To use multiple connectors, you can follow these steps:

  1. In Power BI Desktop, click on "Get Data" in the Home ribbon
  2. Select the connector you want to use to connect to the first data source.
  3. Follow the prompts to connect to the data source and retrieve the data.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect to additional data sources using different connectors.
  5. Once you have connected to all the data sources, you can use the "Join" or "Append" option in the "Home" tab to combine the data from the different sources into a single dataset.

You can also use the "Query Dependencies" option to view the dependencies of your queries and manage them as you need.

Please note that if you use multiple connectors to connect to different data sources, you need to make sure that the data types are compatible and that the data can be joined or appended together.
