Hi, I am new to PowerBI service and now must use it on a day-to-day basis at work. I couldn't find an solution to this issue specifically online, so I thought I would share it here. I was told to take a dataset (that exsists in PBI service) and put it "under" an exsisting report in PowerBI desktop. In PBI desktop, I navigated to Transform Data->Data Source Settings->Select a dataset to create a report. When I clicked the appropriate dataset, most of the fields in my report disappeared. Am I doing something wrong here? Is there another way to place a dataset under an exsisting report?
Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated!
Hi there. Could you give a little more context? What is the report and what is supposed to happen with the existing data that was already "under" the report?
The report is couple of pages long and displays percentages and certain metrics. I am supposed to replace exsisting data in the report with the "demo" data in the demo dataset.
@TechoGirl0 is the demo data in a SQL db somewhere? Or a spreadsheet? Multiple spreadsheets? Also, I'm assuming that the demo table has the same structure (fields, file name(s), etc.) as the data its replacing?
