One Dataset Many Reports (Powerbi Desktop Can't Be Used?)
I have exactly same issue.
We as an IT organization and want to keep control over the development of Enterprise wide used reports datasets and reports, we want to keep the development/maintenance via the Desktop version, storing PBIX files in an on-premises repository, and Publish finished reports to the Service for our endusers. Not being able to create multiple reports from the same dataset, via the Desktop version, is a big functional gap.
I know, we could do this in the PBI service, but then we lose every version control we want to have in place.
The way it works now is great for individuals and small groups of departmental reporting, but not when you want to rollout PBI as an Enterprise wide tool.
I hope they can fix this to have this functionality also via the Desktop version.
