Going to Dataset

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me how to go to dataset or existing saved report while working on another report in Power BI?

[Sujit_Thakur]

You can see file option on toolbar on top of power bi UI while working with power bi desktop , in file option you can select open a report or open new blank report . 

And for going and editing /  seeing dataset you can select dataset icon on left vertical toolbar in power BI  desktop 

If this help , please mark this as answer and give kudos 👍by pressing a thumbs up button on my reply .

Happy to help👍

@Sujit_Thakur I need to open a dashboard that was already published while working on different report that is yet to be published.

After publishing it will ask "open filename in power bi", but here I want to open that while working on another report.

Dear Ram , 

I still cannot understand please elaborate , I mean if you have published a dashboard and simultaneously you want to open a another report which is not publish simply you can open it in your Power BI desktop .

If you have published both of them then you can open both in different window in your browser .

If I am still not on your solution please elaborate I'll try my best to help

HI @Anonymous ,

Just open the existing report in a new browser and keep your working report in a different browser.

Youcan also use different windows, so easy to switch between them while working on one of your report.

So it means I should login to power bi in one browser seperately for dashboard and I need to work on reports in Power BI desktop app. Is that right? 

[Sujit_Thakur]

Yes you can 👍, open dasboard in browser and open another report / dashboard in desktop app 👍.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Can you be more precise here? are you working on Power BI desktop or in Power Bi service?

Thanks,

Hi @Pragati11 ,

I'm working on Power BI desktop. If I need to go to power query editor I have to choose it from the transform data. Suppose if I need to go to an existing dashboard while I'm working on another report in Power BI desktop, how can I? 

Thanks,

Hi @Anonymous ,

Ope your both reports in Power BI Desktop. You will end up with 2 Power BI Desktop files opened - previous dashboard & last dashboard.

You can swicth between them while working on one of them.
