Datapools (preview): Entities from CDS
Datapools are also available as a Power BI connector in Power BI Desktop.
You can add entities from different data sources.
Use case: Combine promotional data with CRM using Power Query online

Drill-throughs will now take all the filters/context from the page you’re on (not just the point you drilled into!), there’s a ‘show details’ feature and data pools (Common Data service for Analytics) is coming soon and going to rock the world of #analytics #DataBISummit pic.twitter.com/KLlQmwqoS2
