See a Snapshot of report

[shaebert]

Is it possible to see a previous snapshot of a report? For instance, when I recently updated the data sources in the report some of the data changed. I want to compare and see what changed from the last time I grabbed the new data source. 

Thanks

@shaebert ,

I would suggest you to create a table which contains date(or datetime) column in the database, then connect to the database and import the table. So every time when you refresh the table in power bi you can achieve the lastest data, and in this table you can still view the old data. 

To compare the data between different date, I would suggest you to create a line chart/stacked chart or others.

You can export the data used in a report, and save it to compare later.  But unless you timestamp your rows, there's not currently an easy way to go back to a previous dataset with just PowerBI
