Hello abrebion,

 

Here are two approaches you can consider:

 

1. You can use Power Query to define parameters and functions in your main .pbix file that reference the measures and fields. Then, when you make changes to the measures, you only need to update the parameter or function in one place.

2. Power BI allows you to create template files (.pbit) that include the data model, measures, and relationships but exclude report pages. When you make changes to the template, you can reapply it to your other .pbix files. This will update the data model while preserving your custom formatting.

 

Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

    Hi,

    thank you for your reply. When you mention using .pbit file, I can't publish such a file to Power BI online service, I have to publish a .pbix file. I don't see how I can use this option.
