Can I create a dataset in Desktop app? When I publish it it always creates two files even though I am creating any report.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
I got it @Markzolotoy you are talking about kind of "sections" not files 🙂
No there is no way to avoid the "report" section when publishing, but you can delete it and stay with the dataset only...:

@Ritaf1983 I meant not creating any report. When I publish a document that has to report, just data it still creates two files: Report and a dataset. I can definitely ignore the report, but I was just curious.
