The majority of my reports come from a single source file. I simply create multiple pages within that report and pull them apart on powerbi.com and save them as separate reports. My source file has about 30 pages but the reports average about 5 each. Many reuse the same page but have changes saved from the app.

To add more calculations I simply replace the source file prior to an update.

    Yes, it is possible for you to create multiple reports connect to one dataset in Power BI Desktop. The very first thing for you is to connect to Data in Power BI desktop, then you can connect to the same dataset when you work with different reports in Power BI Desktop.

      I don't think the moderator understood the question. The answer did not help at all.

    How do you 'pull them apart'? I have my PBIX source file with multiple pages in there. I would like to splitthem apart when I publish the file to my workspace.
