How to change the source of a report made from a composite model ?

Hello 

 

I have my semantic model built in a Power BI desktop file, let's call it Dataset.

Last year, I made a new desktop file "Composite 1" which is a composite model with Dataset as a source as well as other Excel files on sharepoints. I published a report based on this new semantic model.

This year, I had to make a new file "Composite 2" similar to Composite 1 but with slight changes in measures compared to Composite 1. 

I need to copy the report made last year with Composite 1 and change the source to Composite 2.

Is that possible? How?

 

Thank you

Raphaël

Hi @Uzi2019 

 

Thank you for your answer.

In fact, I made a copy of the report based on composite1. I want to change the source of the copy to a new source (composite2). I don't want to change the source at the Desktop files level but change the source of the new report from Composite1 to Composite2. I don't know if I am clear 🙂

 

Thank you

Hi @Raph 

I didnt get you.. Not on desktop file level means???

 

Data source needs to be modify at Power bi desktop only. You cant change to Power bi service.

Hi @Uzi2019 

I meant that desktop files Composite1 and Composite2 are OK with their sources.
The problem is the new report, which is a copy of a report built on Composite1 semantic model : I would like to switch the source of this report to Composite2.

@Raph 
What issue you are facing??
