Same report with multiple views

Hi...I have a report with 3 tabs. I need some users to see only one of those tabs. I can create a new report under the same workspace but when I refresh the report from the Power BI Desktop, I need to make sure both reports will be refreshed to avoid mistakes and have only one refreshed. Is there any way to update both at the same time?

 

Thanks

    Nope. Try this. Publish your report. Go to your report in your workspace... at the top-left-ish, you'll see "Pin Live Page." Click that, select "New Dashboard" and enter a name.

     

    The report then shows up as a dashboard and the slicers/parameters can be adjusted.

    ezequiel,

     

    Since the reports are two separate PBIX files, you'll need to refresh and republish both.

     

    There's two potential options:

    1. Set up a gateway in to automate data updates, cutting Power BI Desktop out of the refresh process

    2. To solve your security concerns, and prevent the need for multiple reports entirely, maybe look into using Row-Level Security.

      Hi! In essence this is one PBIX file with 3 tabs. Using the security feature you mentioned is it possible to define that some users can see only the tab 1 and 2 and others the tab 3?

       

      Thanks again!

        ezequiel,

         

        Per the name, Row-Level-Security controls visibility of certain rows of data to certain user roles. It can't affect the actual report canvas (i.e. tabs).

         

        What type of info are you trying to keep separate?
