Multiple data sources in one project

Combine multiple data sources in one project — for example survey and sales data, or several tracker waves as separate tables. With filter variables across all sources, a single dashboard filter applies everywhere.

DataLion data-sources view showing multiple sources combined in one project

A DataLion project combines multiple data sources at once — for example survey and sales data, or several tracker waves as separate tables. You define filter variables that exist across all sources, so a single dashboard filter applies everywhere. Sources are linked via key variables.

Several sources, one project

A DataLion project doesn't have to be a single table. You combine multiple data sources at once — for example survey data together with sales data, or several tracker waves as separate tables.

Everything that belongs to a study sits together in one project — instead of scattered across separate analyses that no one ever brings back together.

  • Multiple data sources and tables per project
  • Survey and sales data in one analysis
  • Several tracker waves as separate tables

Filters that work across all sources

You define filter variables that exist across all sources. When you then set a filter on the dashboard — by country, wave or target group, say — it applies across every chart and every source.

Instead of filtering each dataset separately, you drive the whole dashboard with one click — no matter which source a chart pulls its numbers from.

  • Filter variables defined across all sources
  • One dashboard filter applies to every chart
  • Filter across sources instead of source by source

Common questions about multiple data sources

Can a DataLion project contain multiple data sources?
Yes. A project can combine multiple data sources and tables at once — for example survey and sales data, or several tracker waves as separate tables.
Does a dashboard filter work across multiple sources?
Yes. You define filter variables that exist across all sources. A single dashboard filter then applies across every chart and every source.
How are the sources connected to each other?
Sources are linked via key variables — such as a shared ID, region or time period — so DataLion knows which rows belong together.
Is this an ETL pipeline or a data warehouse?
No. The point is to combine existing sources in one project and filter across them — not to be a full ETL pipeline or a data warehouse.
How secure is the data storage?
DataLion is GDPR-compliant and hosted in ISO 27001-certified data centers in Germany. The ISO 27001 certification applies to the hosting.
