I uploaded several datasets already available to me, and now i want to create a single report using them. Can there be a way to refer to multiple datasets in a single report?

This is a must heave feature for enterprise level reporting & dash boarding. It seems weird that this is not one available already.

The datasets contain tremendous intellectual property value. To effectively constrain them to a single instance is very limiting. We create standard KPI's that should be able to be reused in connection with other related datasets. I hope this feature can become a priority.

Accessing multiple datasets in a single report would indeed enhance our reporting capabilities

This feature is indeed required in order to utilize Power BI's potential!

RE: Accessing multiple datasets in single report

This is one of the most important features that are missing. Yeah, you can add fancy stuff like 'ask a question' and all that can help the experience here or there, but this will be a make or break feature. It's very useful for when you don't know in advance what exactly you will be needing from your data.

Will start looking into alternatives if there is no solution to this.
