Create a report from two or more pbix

Hello

 

I have two pbix files, that is basically a scenarie 1 and 2 (there could be more scenarios). Each scenario pbix file contains a datasource, relationships and some reports. 

 

I would like to have a new pbix that I use to compare these scenarios in.

So if a scenario contains information about CO2 usage for solution with pipes and a different scenario pbix contains one with green CO2 emissions I can view the key information of both (or more) reports in this Scenarioviewing pbix. 

 

I know I can view data in Dashboards, but I don't believe I can compare different values? For Instance it would be nice if I have a CO2 footprint for each, and then show the difference between that footprint.

    You could publish each report (Scenario 1 and Scenario 2) to a workspace in Power BI Service. Then, create a report (Scenario 3) that uses the dataset of each published report.

      Appreciate your reply. But after I've clicked and made a connection with the first Scenario, the button is now greyed out, and it is no longer possible to create a new connection with a different Scenario. 

       

      Am I doing something wrong here?
