Having 2 reports in one place

[MAwwad]

Hello,

I have 2 different Reports, totally different, but I want them to be in the same place (Workspace, Business App) Any creative ideas ?

I want the end user to have them both in the same enviroment, Workspace is easy but any other creative ideas ?

Hello

Okay I know you can use apps, but how can I have both reports in the same app ? knowing that they are totally different with different datasets as well !

Hey @MAwwad ,

if you do now have migrated your app to the new "Multiple audiences" experience then the content will look similar to the following picture:

Toggle the "Include in app" accordingly.

If you already migrated your app to the new experience, you have to add the content in the content tab during the app configuration:

 Of course, both report have to be published to the same workspace 😉

That can work even if they have different datasources ?

Hey @MAwwad ,

this works like a charm.

Consider a workspace being a container that hosts multiple artifacts, like datasets (a dataset can utilize data from one or more data sources), dataflows, reports, paginated reports, dashboards, workbooks, ...)

A Power BI app is also a container that contains a subset of the artifact, a selection of reports, paginated reports, and dashboards available in the workspace.

I often explain the workspace as the kitchen and the Power BI App as the dining room.

One aspect we have to consider, a report and dashboard will be copied when the App is created. This means there are two instances of a report. When the report is updated, e.g. a new report page is added, the App has to be updated.

But there is only one instance of the dataset(s). Both instances of a report (workspace and App) use the same dataset(s).

Hey @MAwwad ,

Maybe I'm missing something, but I recommend using a Power BI App for sharing content with your users: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-create-distribute-apps?WT.mc_id...

A Power BI App can host multiple reports.

Hopefully, this provides what you are looking for.
