Problem creating PowerBI App
Hello everyone.
I've been creating multiple reports and I'm having good feedback from this, but time has come to put all reports together. A little research helps me find you can create apps in PowerBI, which is great! That's exactly what I wanted.
I created an app workspace, republished two of my reports for testing purposes.
Selected my two reports to "include on app" and clicked on create app.
BUT when finish my settings, it shows me this...
Even though I included the reports in my app, does the dataset also get included? Am I missing a step? Any recommendations on what I should read to fix this?
I searched the forums for a while and no one had this specific question, maybe it's too trivial?
Anyway, if anyone could help, I'd be very glad.
Thank you!
Hi PatersonPrado,
it seems you have create a Template App Workspace, is that intentional?
You probably have this setting enable in the settings of your workspace:
A limitation for Template Apps is that can only consist one dataset. For regular Apps, this is not the case.
I'm not sure if you can revert the workspace back to a "regular" workspace, I haven't done that.
If you can't go "back", you can always create a new "regular" workspace, publish your reports there and publish the app from there.

More or less, yes, Apps tie dashboards, reports and datasets all together. You are not missing a step, it's just a current limitation.

Ok, so I misinterpreted the app workspace thing because I thought I couldn't publish an app on my workspace. Thing is, I got confused since I've been publishing all reports on my personal workspace (which I'm assuming I can't create apps out of reports there).
Your answer has been very insightful, thank you!
