My analyst and I want to work with the same Power BI file. We have it saved on OneDrive in my analyst's folder. Also, we have the Pro PBI license.
Is it possible for us to work on the same file at the same time? Whenever I try to open the file, I am forced to download a copy. My goal is to edit some of my queries while my analyst wants to update a different set of queries in the same file.
Is it possible to do this? Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Not natively, no this is not possible.
You could split your Data Model from your Report, allowing 1 developer working on the Data Model publishing it to the PowerBI Service and allowing another developer to connect to the published dataset and build the Visuals. This still takes cordination and could be clunky.
The 3rd party tool ALM Toolkit has more functionality but my direct exposure to this is limited.
