Power BI Service only one connection to data source?

[tuncay]

Is it true that Power BI Report Sever allows several (live) connections, whereas Power BI Service allows only one connection?

Hi, @tuncay 

Your description is not very clear. 

One powerbi dataset can contain several data sources, which can be import or dq connection methods,or Composite Mode. If you use Live connection, then you can't connect another data source.

So what do you want to know?

Did I answer your question ? Please mark my reply as solution. Thank you very much.
If not, please feel free to ask me.

But, look at "Composite Mode", where it says: 

"Composite mode can mix Import and DirectQuery modes, or integrate multiple DirectQuery data sources."
