Clarification on Semantic model
Hi VoltesDev ,
As of November 2024, Power BI Desktop now supports publishing directly into folders within a workspace—but this feature is currently in preview and enabled by default.
Publish semantic models and reports from Power BI Desktop to a folder in a workspace (preview)
Hope this helps!
Hi VoltesDev
When you use Direct Lake, the semantic model is created within the workspace of the Lakehouse or Warehouse, and you can't move or publish it elsewhere later. It stays tied to the workspace where it was created.
That said, when creating the semantic model, you can choose the target workspace if you start from the “New semantic model” option in the menu this lets you save it in a more central or shared workspace upfront. But once it’s saved, it can’t be moved between workspaces.
For your setup, it’s fine to build reports in XYZ-Sales that connect to the model in XYZ-DataWarehouse just make sure both workspaces are in the same capacity and the users have access.
Hi thanks for the info.
What about if I create from Power BI dekstop then I want to put in subfolder for the Workspace ?
For any case, can be including the report as well.
Because I notice the publish also don't have feature to select which folder in the Workspace.
Thanks,
