Adding create Dashboard to BI desktop and be able to publish it to Power BI

[jhaatue1]

It would be nice to have create Dashboard functionality in BI desktop and then be able to publish it to Power BI, espcially now that we have abilty to publish reports to the group workspace.

Hi jhaatue1,

There is no Dashboard functionality in Power BI Desktop currently. Could you please elaborate more details about the scenario that you need to create Dashboard in Power BI Desktop?

From my perspective, it is convenient to create Dashboard in Power BI Service and you can pin a tile to the newly created dashboard from a report which is published from Power BI Desktop. For more details about pinning tiles from a report, please review the following article.

That will work. The only issue i have is I will not have a back up (pbix file) of the dashboard like i have for report.

Hi jhaatue1,

Could you please elaborate more details about the above requirement? We can duplicate the existing dashboard after creating a dashboard in Power BI Service, the duplicated dashboard could act as a backup in some degree.

Thanks,
