Hi Maggie

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

I am aware of that possiblility, but does it mean I can't import it to a model with other data (which is the present usecase)?

 

Best,

Lars

Hi Anonymous 

Could you tell more about your scenario?

 

For example, i download a pbix with some data i'd like very much.

But i have no access to the data sources this file use, 

thus, when i open the Edit queries, i can't see data and steps applied.

 

I have another pbix file with my data, i want to load data from the pbix above.

 

Is my assumption right?

If not, please illustrate your scenario with more details.

 

Best Regards
Maggie

    Hi Maggie

     

    I have access to recreate the data, but I just find it easier to reuse the queries I already have made in the other model. It is one table created from a total of 15 different queries sourcing from a number of different tables and doing a lot of quite advanced stuff.

    So I would spare myself the trouble of bringing all the queries into my other model if I could just get the resulting table. Having the queries dublicated would also mean that I  would have to maintain them in two different models, instead of just one.

     

    Does it make sense?
