We have created a ‘golden dataset’ using Azure Analysis Services. Unfortunately, Power BI only supports only one live connection.
Hence, people go back to Excel to combine data from different (Tabular) models because Excel supports combining an almost indefinite number of connections from different sources.
I suggest to extent to ability of Power BI to support multiple live connections, starting binding the live connection to a Power BI page, so not the ability to combine the models.
Filtering could be ‘global’, so across the models.
This way you can present the user a Power BI report that makes use of different models.
