Some visualization types support multiple data sources, while others do not. If your data visualization supports multiple data sources, the data sources must all be of the same type: all tables, all indicators, or all another
type.

Warning:  
If you select multiple data sources for a visualization and then change the visualization type to one that does not support multiple data sources, you keep only the first data source. Switching back to a visualization type that supports multiple data sources does not restore the previously selected data sources.
