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 @GroboBI ,
