Shared Data Model

[ATREZISE]

If I design a report in PBI desktop and publish it (along with it's dataset) to the PBI service is it possible to use that dataset again in another report without having to remodel it? i.e. somehow attach to my published dataset as I would any other datasource?

Hi @ATREZISE,

Also you can download the pbix in Power BI service and open it in Power BI desktop. Then you can edit the report and publish it again.

Also the way as @Anonymous shared should work well too.
