Help with data set sharing
Hi.
I want to create a work space that contains my data sets and acces those from another work space.
Like creating a repository for data sets and use them from outside that work space.
Is this possible?
Thanks for your help, any comments are welcome and apreciated!
Hi GroboBI
You should probably refer to use the dataset across workspace:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-datasets-across-workspaces
Please note that:
Building reports based on datasets in different workspaces, and copying reports to different workspaces, are tightly coupled with the new workspace experience:
- In the service, when you open the dataset catalog from a new workspace experience, the dataset catalog shows datasets that are in your My Workspace and in other new workspace experience workspaces.
- When you open the dataset catalog from a classic workspace, you only see the datasets in that workspace, not the ones in other workspaces.
- In Power BI Desktop, you can publish Live Connect reports to different workspaces, as long as their datasets are in new experience workspaces.
- When copying reports across workspaces, the target workspace needs to be a new experience workspace.

Hi. Yes you can. There a preview feature that allow a pro user to share datasets between different workspaces.
You can read more about it and how to apply in this link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-datasets-promote

Hi GroboBI ,
Ask the user to use "Get Data-> Power BI dataset to create reports , If he select this option then It will list all the dataset, and he can select the dataset an create reports.
