   1. The variable value is a comma separated list of server names. If you needed to connect to SQLProdDb and SQLProdDb2, you can enter "SQLProdDb1,SQLProdDB2"
   2. The asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard for a server. In this example, "SQL*Db" would match SQLTestDb, SQLProdDb, SQLServerDb, etc.
4. Click OK

After applying this setting, restart Power BI Desktop. You may also need to recreate your datasource connection through Home → Transform data → Data source settings.
