Power Bi Reports

My company and I create reports in an Excel spreadsheet every month. It is important to us that we can compare month A and month B. I would also like to see the previous reports in general.

My question would be where I can find the reports or where they are recorded and where I can call them up. By that I mean whether Power BI stores the reports and I can retrieve them without having to save the reports to my PC

Hi @aleynasahin ,

 

Once the dataset is refreshed successfully, you will not be able to roll it back to the previous version. So please use Power Automate to automatically export the PBIX file of this dataset to OneDrive online using a monthly API call.

 

Please refer to these documents for details:

Reports - Export Report In Group 

HOW TO AUTHENTICATE AND USE THE POWER BI API INSIDE POWER AUTOMATE 

 

Here are the results of my test.

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

@aleynasahin  -> You can create a single power bi report and have slicers/filters for dates

Also, you can publish the report to Power BI service and then you need not save it into your PC. You can simply visit Power BI service(app.powerbi.com) and see your reports.

The points you said work, I have no problems with that.

But if I update this report in Power Bi and then upload it again, I still want to have access to the previous one. Hopefully that's explained clearly 🙂
