Can I duplicate a report for another database?

[RBOM12]

Hello,

I'm new to Power BI and was wondering if it was possible to use the same report with two different databases? For example, I create a report and duplicate it, just changing the database but keeping the graphics.

@RBOM12 ,
Yes you definitely can.

You can create a copy of the report and directly change the DB from power query. If the structure of this new DB's table is different than existing one, you will have to make some changes to the visuals.
OR
Create a template file (.pbit) and use it in new report. Template will automatically keep the graphics.

Hi @RBOM12 

Yes, this is possible if you open up your existing report, go file save as and save it with another name. Then, if you click on one like data hub and select power bi semantic models, you can then select your other model which you have uploaded to the power BI service and this report will now link to the different database or what is known as the semantic model.
