Team wants me email and share my native BI Desktop. Here, I do not want to show my all Measures i built up.
Is there any fuction to lock the Fields? with something like Password and so on.
Hi @Anonymous,
I'll provide you with an answer in here - if you have any questions like this in future, it's probably better to post them in the Desktop or Service forums. There's a much higher volume of users there that can provide you with a solution more quickly than this particular forum (which is concerned with developing custom visuals using code).
What you want, specifically, is not a feature of Power BI Desktop. Desktop is not designed for sharing, but rather development of reports. Sharing is managed by publishing to the Power BI Service.
I'm not sure why you'd not want people to see your measure code - is it more that you don't want people to edit them?
If the latter, depending on the technical comprehension of your users, you have a couple of "options" if you have to feel you must stick with Desktop:
If it's more a case of wanting users to be able to configure the report and visuals using Desktop, but you want the data model to remain fixed/protected, the "Power BI way" to do it is to create a shared dataset in the service :
To complete, You can copy/paste the visuals from your orignial report into a new one and then clear out visuals from the original and re-publish.
This dataset can then have its own refresh, and if you make changes then all dependent reports will see them and get the updated data.
Further reading on shared datasets:
Hopefully this gives you some ideas. Good luck!
