Refreshing commonly used dataset once to update across different reports in different workspaces

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way such that my organization could refresh ONE dataset that is used by multiple reports, which are located in different workspaces within the organization?

To provide context, we use one dataset to build different types of reports for different audiences within the organization. Come refresh time, each report is refreshing the same exact dataset, and I cant help but feel like there would be a more efficient way to set this up. The dataset is managable currently, but of course with time will only get larger and more resource intensive.

I was looking to see if the community had any suggestions or ideas so that I can take it from multiple refresh instances of the same data set per time interval, to just refresh that dataset once, and have it cascade to all reports in different workspaces in PowerBI Service using that dataset.

Appreciate the feedback, thanks!

Hi @Anonymous,

Based on my test, if all of your reports are from one dataset in thes same workspace, once the dataset refrehs, all of the reports will be updated, but the other reports in different workspace could not be refreshed. Now the Power BI could not support this feature currently, I suggest you submit an idea in idea forum:
