Try to use TMDL view - Use Tabular Model Definition Language (TMDL) view in Power BI Desktop (preview) - Power BI | Microso...

I haven't tested yet whether elements grouping can be copied, but I'd give it a try 🙂

Hi @AlessandroBet, as long as your semantic model is the same, you can copy-paste items between pbix. If your semantic model is different, you should still be able to paste a group to a new file, however it will not work until you indicate what values from a new model to use.

In case you have any bookmarks, those should be recreated again.

 

A new TMDL view might be useful in you case. You can learn more about it here - Use Tabular Model Definition Language (TMDL) view in Power BI Desktop (preview) - Power BI | Microso...


Good luck!
