We have developed lot of templated dashboards that have key insights for each customer as a semantic model & reports by handling them as parameters in Power query to dynamically load basis the value - only difference is the employee dimension table that has different column names for each customer. There is currently no mechanism to centrally propagate changes—such as updates to visuals or metrics—across all customer-specific reports at once. Any modification made to a visual or measure in one report must be manually replicated in each of the PBIX files. Impact: High Maintenance Overhead: Every update requires manual intervention across all reports, consuming significant time and resources. Increased Risk of Inconsistency: Manual updates increase the likelihood of discrepancies between reports, leading to potential data integrity and trust issues. Delayed Rollouts: Implementing even minor changes across all reports can delay delivery timelines and responsiveness to business needs. Scalability Limitations: As the number of customer reports grows, the current approach becomes increasingly unsustainable Proposed Solution: Need for an centralized update propagation mechanism within Microsoft Fabric or Power BI ecosystem. This could take the form of: Linked Visuals and Measures: Allow visuals and DAX measures to be referenced from a central repository or template file. Template Binding: Enable PBIX files to inherit layout and logic from a master template, with the ability to override only non customer-specific elements. Impact: Implementing such a mechanism would dramatically reduce development effort, improve consistency, and enable faster, more reliable rollouts—making Power BI a more scalable and enterprise-ready solution for multi-tenant reporting scenarios.
