Dataset

I'm still on the trial, trying to figure out how datasets work.  If I want to have different apps for different sides of the company, but there is common data between all of them (Contact information form our local CRM)  how do I "share" the table between the two datasets without having to have it duplicated?

Hi what you could do is to upload the report to the Power BI Service, which will create the dataset.

Then you can create a new report, and when you click on Get Data, you select the Power BI Service, and then you can connect your second set of reports to the same dataset in the Power BI Service. So you only have to manage one dataset?
