Why It is adding New Data-sets for each Power BI Report When Report is Designed using Desktop

Hi Guys,

 

I am working on few Power BI Reports and these reports have to be deployed to a Specific WorkSpace.

 

For all these Reports Source is Same SSAS Tabular. What I noticed for each Reports it creates a Seperate Data-Set (Data-set Name is same as Report Name) When I publish the Reports to Power BI App. 

 

I was expecting a single data-set as source is going to be same (a Single SSAS Tabular).

 

But I design reports on Power BI web App, I am allowed to use Single Data-set for multiple reports. 

 

There is any way can aviod Multiple Data-sets when designing reports using Desktop and source SSAS Tabular Cube?

I tried this way and It works. 

 

1st Report in Power BI I published which connects to a dataset- Azure SAQL Server BD. Next Time If I want to design any report in Power BI Desktop using same Dataset, I would go to Get Data-->Power BI Datasets-->Select a Workspace-->Select a dataset and then when I publish the report, It does not create new dataset as It is pointing to a datasets which is already published.

Hi ShivendooKumar,

 

So you want all your report using a same dataset in power bi desktop, right? I would recommend you to put every report in one page in your pbix file and then publish your pbix file to power bi service.
