Best Practices for Common Data Models
Following up on a previous question, since I cannot do any additional modeling when connecting to a Power BI Dataset, I'm curious as to the best way to be able to work off of a common data model. ...
Hi AlexisOlson,
Based on my understanding, you have multiple Power BI reprots connecting to similar data source, what you want to achieve is that after publishing reports to Power BI service, they share the same dataset hosted on service in order to avoid dataset redundancy. However, publishing a report to service will automatically saving a dataset on service, this is by design. Unless you connect to the existing dataset stored on Power BI service which can be shared by multiple reports. Live connecting to Power BI dataset still allows you to generate measures. Apart from this, I'm afraid there is no other workaround.
Best regards,
