Creating New Reports

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.

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.
