Merging .pbix files

Is it possible to merge two .pbix files into one so that one dashboard can be built?  If both .pbix files use the same data source and one developer works on a page and another works on a second page...

    Hi ldwf ,

    Yes, it is possible to merge two .pbix files into one if both files use the same data source. However, it is important to note that merging two .pbix files can be a complex process and requires careful planning to ensure that all the data and visuals are properly integrated.


    One way to merge two .pbix files is to use the "Import" feature in Power BI Desktop. Here are the steps to follow:

     

    Open the first .pbix file in Power BI Desktop.

    Click on "Home" tab and select "Import" from the "External Data" section.

    Select the second .pbix file and click "Open".

    In the "Navigator" window, select the data tables and visuals that you want to import into the first .pbix file.

    Click "Load" to import the selected data and visuals into the first .pbix file.


    After importing the data and visuals from the second .pbix file, you can rearrange and customize the visuals as needed to create your dashboard.


    It is important to note that merging two .pbix files can be a complex process and requires careful planning to ensure that all the data and visuals are properly integrated. You may also need to adjust the data model and relationships to ensure that the data is properly integrated.


    Regarding Github, it is possible to merge two .pbix files using Github, but it is not recommended as it can be difficult to resolve conflicts and ensure that all the data and visuals are properly integrated. It is generally recommended to use the "Import" feature in Power BI Desktop to merge two .pbix files.
