Hi Lydia
Building a data model in PowerBI Desktop sounds good, but
if I want to create different projects on this model, how can I resuse it in other PBIX?
Like a single source data model?
Wouldn't it be better to create it in Excel and then use it in both, PowerBI Desktop and PowerBIService?
additional questions:
how can I use an Excel file, located on Sharepoint or OneDrive in PowerBI Desktop?
It will only point me to the local drives...
the workarround I've found so far was to create the Reports in PowerBI Online and to export them as PBIX,
but also this doesn't work in all cases... why?
