When I create a new report I create a duplicate of an existing report file and then change the DSN. The reason is because this existing report is the template I use. Is there a better practise?
Also, and more importantly right now, with my current method, i keep getting a 'ODBC: ERROR [08001] FATAL: Too many connections for role'. Do you think this is due to the my duplicate method?
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can duplicate an existing report, or you can create a template (.pbit) and then create new reports from that template.
The error is on the ODBC/ data source side. Has nothing to do with Power BI.
