Editing Reports in Power BI but don't want changes affecting Salesforce Original Reports
gnuoryx Connecting to any data source will "import or read" data from your source into Power BI. So, what you're doing is creating a new copy of that information, you don't need to worry about your source data in Salesforce being modified.
Power BI doesn't "write/export" data back to the source data. So the new columns you've added in Power BI won't show up or be added to Salesforce.
If you save your Power BI file, it will create a PBIX file of your new datamodel that you've created.
Thanks so much Eno1978; I tried it out and indeed it worked.:smileyvery-happy:
I think it's because your Salesforce Report includes 3,150 rows of date yes? However, Power BI will only let you bring in 2,000 rows from the report so it's not a chart display issue, it's simply because all of the data isn't there...

Hi All, I have a salesforce report of beneficiaries registered in salesforce database and want to run facial recognition on all registered beneficiareis to remove persons registering twice (duplicates) in different communities. Can anyone suggest a solution? Can I bring the photos into PowerBI and un a duplicate check on the faces? Just exploring what is possible. Thanks.
gnuoryx Sounds like a cool project. Power BI natively isn't going to support this, but figuring out a way to use Azure ML to run the facial checks and pushing that back into Power BI is worth a look.
MS did a facial recognition website a while ago, and looks like they've exposed an API to assist. I haven't totally delved into it, but it looks like a good direction to pursue.
