Copying Semantic models and RDL files to new workspaces and rebind files to new data source and blob

[ndexsystems]

Is it possible to copy the contents of a power bi workspace to another workspace and then change the data connections with a power shell script?  The workspace includes reports, semantic models and RDL files and the data is stored in blob storage containers on azure.

Hi @ndexsystems 

Yes, this can be done by using the different part of the APIs in order to move your semantic models and reports between different app workspaces. You can also change the connexion strings with the APIs

A lot of the APIs can also be used with PowerShell scripts. Power BI Cmdlets reference | Microsoft Learn
