One can connect a Power BI report to another Power BI report for its data source. (Matt Allington calls this a thin workbook and a golden dataset). If you publish the thin workbook, go to it in the Power BI Service, click File>Save As, then a new report will be generated which is the thin workbook and the golden dataset merged together. However measures that were orginally local to the thin workbook cannot be viewed, edited or deleted in the new merged report. In fact trying to delete these measures you will get the error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".
There is another problem with these "problematic" measures. If you connect a report to the merged dataset then those measures won't come through.
