Disconnect Power BI Report from Power Platform Data Source
I see the data and modelling options appear only for original dataset and not for the dependent reports(report created from datasets) even if we download the report .pbix. To reuse the visuals and bookmarks, instead of copy-paste all the visual to new report, you could model and publish your excel based dataset to service and point the report which you intent to reuse to newly published(excel based) dataset.
v-diye-msft I am too interested to see an option to change the source other than PBI service datasets.
If it helps, mark this as a solution.
Hi Dina and Venal
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.
venal - yes, that is exactly right, I want to re-use the same report, and disconnect it from the dataset, and connect it to a different dataset that is not on the Power Platform / Power BI service. I tried downloading the report but unfortunately the same limitations apply and I cannot connect to a new dataset.
v-diye-msft thank you, I'm looking to do the opposite of "Do you mean you'd like to use the dataset in service but modify the report?" -- I want to keep the same report, but use a different (offline) dataset. I can re-create the entire report from scratch - but ideally it would be possible to re-use my report to connect to a downloaded, offline dataset instead of creating a new report from scratch.
Thank you!
