HI @Cupe_GIS
In Power BI , dataset will be refreshed against the source data and reports will just consume the data from dataset. In other words, we schedule dataset only, not reports. As soon as the dataset is refreshed, the dataset will contain the latest data ALL reports based on this dataset will show the underlying data. It is not possible to have different schedule of reports which are based on same dataset.
Maintaining one dataset for internal and one for exterlan reports seems to be the solution.
Thanks
Raj
Is there a way to refesh the dataset once istead of twice as the both reports are using the same data source ? Why do I need to do it twice ?
