Only option is to upload to exisitng workspace where its been already configured to GIT, but no other  way to add directly to local visual studio code or PBI dekstop.

Hi @navin_d 

 

You can try the following ways:

 

You can use the Power BI External Tools feature to launch Visual Studio Code from Power BI Desktop and edit your report. You need to install the TOM client libraries and create a script to connect and manage your model. 

 

You can use the Tabular Editor tool to edit your report in Visual Studio Code. You need to install Tabular Editor and configure it as an external tool in Power BI Desktop.

Hi @navin_d 

 

You can try the following steps to add an existing Power BI report from your local desktop to your Power BI service:

 

Make sure the report you want to add is a PBIX file.

 

Open Power BI Desktop. Click on "File" -> "Open"

Once published, you can view and manage the report in Power BI Service by navigating to the appropriate workspace.
