Hi,
I have a Dataset D_source published in the service. I have built a report based on D_source and published it in the service. Upon publishing a new dataset is created alongside D_source. The expectation is that no additional dataset is created. When opening the report derived from D_source the storage model is DirectQuery.
Is my expectation correct that no additional dataset should be created?
Thank you!
HI @Anonymous ,
My udnerstanding is that the Dataset stays in the original location. But, I am wondering if you are "seeing" the dataset but that is not the actual location of the dataset in the new location. I base that on this comment: "
From this article - Intro to datasets across workspaces - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
I don't have one handy to test with right now but in the past, I know that the report that is sharing the dataset from the other location, has to have the right permissions to use the shared dataset in the first place (also indicating to me that the dataset stays put).

@collinq : I'm trying to follow the one dataset, multiple reports approach (actually I'bve been doing it for a while).
In this particular case everything sits in one single workspace. So I'm expecting something like:
|-- Source Dataset
|-- Report based on Source Dataset
|-- Another report based on Source Dataset
What I am getting is:
|-- Source Dataset
|-- Report based on Source Dataset
|-- Another datset which is actually a copy of Source Dataset
|-- Another report based on copy of Source Dataset
..all in one and the same workspace.
