Change Semantic Model

[kbroshizaki]

I have a series of reports from one semantic model (let's call it SMA), and I plan to make a duplicate of this model (SMB).  SMB will be focused on reports that are facing audience B, while SMA needs to be just for audience A.

Since all the reports I want to point towards SMB are associated to SMB, is there a way for me to update them without having to download each one and updating the source settings from desktop?

Hi @kbroshizaki ,

Based on the description, try to click on data source settings and select edit permissions.

Open the reports side by side.  

In the new report connect to SMB.

Page by page on the "old"  report  highlight and copy all visuals.

Paste them into the same page in the new report.

Is this within the web view of powerbi? You're wording sounds like you're suggesting essentially copy and paste the visuals, but doesn't help advise on the semantic model update itself, so would like some more clarifying details please.

This advice is for Power BI Desktop. Open two instances side by side, one with Report A using SMA, the other with an (empty) Report B linked to SMB.
