Power BI chart question

Hi guys, I am new to Power BI and have some enquiries about this.

Chart Template - for example, I created a chart for dataset January, I would like to create another chart for dataset February. Table and column is all the same but I not gonna run through again to create the chart I will reuse the chart from dataset Jan and change it to dataset February. Is this possible?

 

AD Integration – Is that Power BI can login with Active Directory account?

Hi @junwei23 

 

If you only want to switch the data source of an existing report, you can go to Data source settings, select the data source you want to change and click Change Source button. You can also access Data source settings window through File > Options and settings.

To make a report reusable, you can consider exporting a template from an existing report. Please refer to Create and use report templates in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

@junwei23 , If data sets have the same structure, you can copy and paste the visual into the file with that dataset. Or change the dataset of file.

 

Or merge data in power query for tables to have data together.

 

Yes, Azure Active Directory should work.
