Need guidance on simultaneous editing of a Power BI file by multiple users

Salome_Mik — Wed, 11 Dec 2024 10:33:38 GMT

Me and my coworker need to create one report but didn't figure out how to work and collaborate on the same file at the same time from our own computers. Moreover, we have one excel file as a source (which is too large for excel One Drive) and want to collaborate.

We considered publishing the report but in that case we won't be able to write DAX or change anything except the visuals.

We also considered to share the link from one drive but we couldn't manage to it. (we couldn't upload PBi)

Hi @Salome_Mik,

Maybe it is good to look into the concept of Power BI Desktop projects:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/projects/projects-overview

Power BI Desktop introduces a new way to author, collaborate, and save your projects. When you save your work as a Power BI Project (PBIP), report and semantic model item definitions are saved as individual plain text files in a simple, intuitive folder structure.

That could make working together on this report a bit easier and you also could have the benefit of version control when you connect it to a source control system like GIT.
