How to duplicate the dashboard and replace the dataset from the different source?

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

May I ask if it possible to duplicate the dashboard and change the dataset for the new duplicate dashboard that I save a copy in as when I'm using the info from this weblink: Create a copy of a Power BI dashboard - Power BI | Microsoft Docs it copy all the dashboard but I cannot change the dataset even the dataset have the same column.

Thank you in advance for the help

Hi @Anonymous ,

The Dahboards do not have any dataset directly associated with them. The Datasets in the dashboard are those that are associated reports that are added as tiles to the dashboard.

If there is way you can repoint the dashboard to a different dataset, I think you should create a new copy of the report and point it to the other dataset. These reports can be added as tiles to the dashboard

This way you will have a dahboard with the same visuals pointed to a different dataset

@Anonymous , I doubt you can change the dataset for a dashboard, you can change that for a report
