Copying Reports between Workspaces

Hi Guys,

 

So i have a PBIX file with a couple of reports i published to the service under a workspace i created (Say X). Now i need to copy an individual report(More like just one report or tab) to another workspace (Say Y). So i just copied the report to the other workspace(Y).

 

Workspace X has a report file with 8 tabs.

Workspace Y  is a copied report from X but removed 6 tabs leaving just 2.

 

My question is;

 

1. If i a copy a report to another workspace, does the report get refreshed when the original report is refreshed?

2. If i make changes to the PBIX File and then upload to the original workspace, do the copied report update as well with the changes?

3. Is there a better way to achieve this?

 

NB: The Data Source is SQL DB - Import Mode.

 

Any assistance would be helpful.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I have tested. The results are as follows:

 


 

1. If i a copy a report to another workspace, does the report get refreshed when the original report is refreshed?

 


After refreshing a dataset, all reports based on that dataset will automatically refresh, regardless of whether they are in the same workspace.

2. If i make changes to the PBIX File and then upload to the original workspace, do the copied report update as well with the changes?

 


The parts related to the dataset will be updated at the same time, but the layout design of the report will not change, such as visualizations' types and layout.

 


 

3. Is there a better way to achieve this?

 


To my knowledge, there is no workaround to update all changes to the copied report.

i am not entirely sure, but my suggestion is to make a test workspace and test it
