Hi,
Currently my workflow is probably the same as for many others. I'm wondering if theres a way to do this more efficient, because its very time consuming.
Each time I make some changes, step 3 takes me about 5-10 minutes to get everything organized again, which feels like a slow proces and needless waste of time. I've thought about working with 4 different PBI-files, but then I'll also get 4 datasets. Making changes to 4 datasets is even more of a chore, and its not even possible to copy-and-paste between files.
Do you know of a more efficient way for me to work?
I look forward to hearing your feedback! 🙂

Hi @TBenders
I work with a similar practise. I modify my one PBIX file in desktop and upload that to the service. It only has a couple of tabs for checking data.
I then build all of my reports in the Power BI Service rather than the desktop file feeding off of the dataset.
That way I now have about 20 different reports that are all updated when I update the one PBIX file.
Hope this helps.

Hi braybrookj, can you detail the way you build those report in the PBI service? Because I do it by saving a copy and when I update my dataset in the PBI desktop, the formulas updates only in the original report..
Tnx!
Hi @LuRib,
I have enabled the "preview features" in the service. When I click on the datasets option, the first icon under action is "Create Report". I just click that for every new report.
Cheers
Tnx for the prompt answer.
So you prepare your reports in PBI Service? Cause I´ve made them in PBI Desktop.. That´s why I was saving a copy of the report at the service and deleting the staff I dont need for each report. But then, when I update my dataset in PBI desktop and publish it, the formulas don´t get updated in the copies I saved..
Thanks guys for the replies, great to get some different views/approaches.
Hi@TBenders,
You could publish a dataset to Power BI services, and then create your repot from that dataset. After finished create report, you could pin them to different dashboard.
Once you need to update you report, you could modify the dataset first, republish it. Then modify the reports on each dashboard. In this case, you needn't to republish report to Power BI services.
