Duplicate a report with new Month data
Hello everyone,
I have some data in excel about the sales of march, I import this data into Powerbi. (Just 1 sheet of excel called: Sales March)
After that I made a nice Report (Dashboard) with some pivotcharts and tables.
Now I import new data from April into Powerbi ( Just 1 sheet of excel Called: Sales April)
Question/problem is: i would like to duplicate my Report (Dashboard) and then connect all my pivotcharts and tables with just the new data of April. (Sales April)
(i dont use any relations with powerbi, its just to visualis the Data for manager)
Thanks all for your support and time
(excuses me for my bad English, its my second languages)
This picture shows my problem:
For the example I select the second table, I would like to see the sales from April but i duplicate this report from March so it shows the data from march. I can change it by hand to select the right data from the colum of April. I would like to change all the tables to the right data (Sales April) in 1 time. I thought something like select all the tables and then change data but I cant find something like this.

Just to be clear, Do you want the complete dashboard to point to Sales April or only the few visuals on the dashboard ?

Thanks for your comment!
The complete dashboard.
I just duplicate it and change the name to Sales April.

I've tried your scenario using "Parameters". If you have same structure for all three months sales data tables, add an additional field to have a source field like March for March month and April for April or anything similar unique value for each source.
Then, append those three tables into a new table using "Append Queries as New" in Power Query Editor and name it as All (For example). Use this "All" table for building your dashboard. It will show all three months data in one dashboard, but you need to have one for each.... So add parameters with values March, April, May and filter the ALL table using the parameter value.
Everytime you change the parameter value, the dashboard will change automatically. Similarly, you can have duplicate dashboards as well pointing to different parameters. Here is few screenshots (Just with sample data)....
