Deploy common model to multiple reports

Hi everybody !

 

I have a common report that I must deploy in different countries. Each country report will have some specifities but will be based on the common report.

 

1 - Based on a database I made some transformations with power query (M).

2 - I created some measures with DAX

3 - I designed the pages of the common report.

 

I thought about a process in order to deploy evolutions or corrections :

1 - Copy the query (with advanced query editor) of the common report and past it on the deployed report

2 - Do the same with the DAX formulas (copy and past)

3 - Publish the deploied report

 

I think this process will be very time consuming (for 10 or more deployments) and I am asking for advises in order to take the best approach.

 

Thank you !

  • GJA , You can use a power bi file as a source in new versions. This means we can use the data model of a Power Bi file and create visuals on top of it.

     

    Once you publish a Power BI file, you will be able to see that in your power bi datasets.

     

    This will not share visuals. But power Bi allows you copy-paste of visual across files. Select all visual in a page and copy in another file, if needed

      Thank you.

       

      The power bi file as source looks like a good idea. I'll test it and tell you.

        A combination of both solutions solved my problem. 

        1 - I publish a data model (pbix file) with row security level

        2 - I create a report based on the data model

         

        Thank you
