I didn't solve the problem yet, the solutions presented are good and helped for sure, but it showed me how to use composite models instead explain better the pros and cons for a long-term use perspective. 
I want more feedback before changing my reports using the composite model.

Hi @dimarmir1720 ,

 

We actually do this on Direct query then publish the report with no visuals

and then create new reports using power bi datasets. 

 

But if the multiple reports you are talking about are completely not related, 

It is better to separate them.

 

Hope this helps.

The main idea is to avoid rework on others models.

I have a big amount of data and datasets are different right now, now I want creat a composite model that now is possible on power bi.

Before starting creating reports I want understand well pros and con of this technic.
