Use a Power BI File as source of another Power BI

Hi Everyone!

 

Is it posible to use a Power BI file as source of another Power BI?

If It wouldn't possible, there is some alternative to do this?

 

Thanks!

If you use "analyse in excel", it is a live link. If the power bi report is updated, the Excel file will also be updated

You can load the first power bi workbook to the lower bi service, and then use "Analyze in Excel" to extract data. You may be able to do the same with power bi connecting to SSAS with some trick, but I haven't tried it.

Thanks for the answer @MattAllington


But, is it possible to do this automatically?

I explain, the first Power BI would have a scheduled update and I need that the second one refresh automatically once the first was updated.
