Model based on other models

[daniele_tiles]

Hi to all,

let's imagine that we have 2-3 different models (different sources), and we want/need to combine all the data in one bigger model.

I wanted to understand if it's possible to create a model based on other models (without recreating the connections, the data preparation and so on). Is it possible? I guess no...

Best regards

Daniele

hi, @daniele_tiles 

If these data sources have the same data structure, you could use save one rerport as PBIT file.

Hi @daniele_tiles 

You can reuse one of the existing .pbix files and append the tables from different sources in the Query Editor at early steps, by that you will preserve all model structure and most of the data prep.
