    Hi Anonymous 


    One way you could create this is to store all the indiviual tables using Dataflows and then connect the different Power BI reports to the dataflows?

     

    You could then cherry pick the ones for each dataset?

Hi Anonymous ,

 

I don't find a way to make DAX Studio automatically. Maybe you can try the following ways:

 

1. Use R or Python scripts to automatically export data.

2. Use DirectQuery to connect multiple datasets.

 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-directquery-datasets-azure-analysis-services 

 

 

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards,
Winniz

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for your feedback, but the the R/Python solution does not meet our companys security standards as a Public privacy level is required.

     

    As for the DirectQuery solution, there are too much limitations as of now and again it doesn't meet our companys needs in terms of data management.

     

    As proposed by the previous reply by GilbertQ, we are exploring the Dataflows solution, which seems to meet our company's requirements better.

     

    Have a nice day
