Hello @powerbiexpert22 ,

 

you create a power bi report with the data model and measures and every transformation you want, then publish it to service.

 

then your developers can connect to this published dataset and create their own report that is connected to the published dataset you prepared.

 

check this out https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-report-lifecycle-datasets

Hi @powerbiexpert22 ,

Thanks to for the @Idrissshatila quick and effective replies, and I will give the additions below:

Based on my testing, may be there no other alternative workaround to implement that multiple developers work on same data model.
You can raise a new idea and add the comments there to make the feature coming.

Hi @Idrissshatila 

 

it would be difficult for single person to work on data model since there are around 10-12 dimesnions and 2 fact tables , also we need to create DAX expressions and measures
