Share pbix file without the data

Create an empty database or excel with the same structure, whatever is the source. Change the connection details to this new empty source and refresh it and save. That should give you empty pbix.
Edit Datasource under data transformation or

Hello amitchandak ,
The users whom we're going to share the reports with are from different organization. Formerly, they are part of the company, but now they formed a separate legal entity. And sharing of the reports is part of handover to them. Basically, they will have the same data models in PBI. But we do not want to share the records in the datasets that are imported to PBI reports.

Hello amitchandak,
Thank you very much. I think I would go for the PBI templates.
