reusable components in reports

let say i have 20 reports, which Power BI components or features can be reused across multiple reports or future reports? for example, the semantic model and calculations within the semantic model can be reused across multiple reports. the requirement is to build modular components in power bi which can be used across multiple reports and also utlize in self service reporting

    Hi powerbiexpert22 ,

    If the objective is to create self service reporting, then you should create one self service BI Semantic Model with
    reusable caluclations like base measures,timeintelligence,reusable icon measures,standard color measures for rag formatting.

    If  you have requirements for creating P&L type statements,consider creating reusable disconnected tables also in semantic model.

    once all this is done , we can create live connected report templates with all these measures being used for user reference so that they dont have to start from scratch.

     

    Please give kudos or mark it as solution once confirmed.

     

    Thanks and Regards,

    Praful

    Hello,

    I can think about:

    • Calculation group
    • UDF
    • Theme
    • PBI Template
    • Custom visual
