Dear,

I have currently connected with one power bi dataset (which is connected with a sql though gateway setup). Now I want to load another power bi dataset which is connected with another sql through gateway setup. It seems like not possible directly, everything is gray. Is there a work around for this?

Hi Yuan,

If you're using Direct Query then you cannot connect to any other datasets in the same model.

Thank you for your reply Mynda. I found a solution changing a setting allowing preview settings, then it works.

Great! In that case suspect you weren't using Direct Query
