Global Connection Power BI Desktop

Is there a way to create a "global" data source in Power BI Desktop, so when I create a new report file, I do not have to re-enter the connection information?

  • Hi,

     

    Not sure to understand your question.

    But if you start a new report from a Dataset published in BI Service,

    you can have multiple reports based on the same Dataset.

    Is that what you're looking for ?

      I apologize, yes. It was right in front of me the whole time!
