RB - New table info didn't show up on the Report Builder report

Hi All - I'd like to add some more info to an existing RB report by adding a new table. I am able to add a new table to DSV and build relationship. I am also able to add the table to report model as a new entity and source fields. The report model gets rebuilt and redeployed without problem, and the old report still runs fine. But when I open the report in report builder and want to add more info, the new table/entity/attributes are not showing up at all.

I've had this problem before also, sometimes when I create a report model with multiple tables I can only drag and drop values from one table onto the report builder grid. Once I drag values from the one table there is no way to go back and add values from the other table.

Why is that?

A report that already contains data displays the entities related to the data already in the report. If your new entity is not related to the data in the report, you will not be able to select fields from that entity and add them to your report. If the entities should be related, make sure you have created a Role in the report model that defines that relationship.

RB - Multiple Data Source for Report Builder

I add two data sources to the designer. Create a new dsv using one data source first. Then right click in the designer to add a new table. This time I use the second data source. When I create a Report Model and run it, an error occurred: "Message: Invalid object name 'dbo.tblTrade'. Command: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [dbo].[tblTrade] t"

It does not recognize the second data source. Look at the property of the dsv, it only points to the first data source, not the other one...

If you look at the XML code for the dsv, there is a DataSourceID tag right above the Schema tag. Can this tag be expanded to include the 2nd data source? Can the XML code be tweaked to include the second data source?

<DataSourceID>Db House01</DataSourceID>

<Schema>

|||"Our newly created Data Source is positioned as the default, and will serve us in meeting the objectives of our practice exercise. A Data Source View for a Report Model Project, unlike a Data Source View for an Analysis Services Project, can only reference a single Data Source. "

Is this true?

Yes, that is correct.

|||By creating a named query can overcome the single data source limitation.|||

This solution does not work. If one try to create model bases on such Data source View, table entity for the named query defined in DSV, which is not bases on prime data source, is not being created.

Can you please give some steps to over come this problem?
