How to move Direct Lake Semantic Models across workspaces?
- Anonymous2 years ago
Hi jeebee91 ,
1.Connect to the Lakehouse in Power BI Desktop:
Go to Get Data > Lakehouses > Connect -> Select the Lakehouse you want to connect to-> Now you can use DAX features in Power BI Desktop.
2.Alternatively, you can build semantic models directly in the Power BI service:
Select the semantic model in the Lakehouse you created -> Choose Open Data Model to access the web modeling experience ->Add table relationships and DAX measures as needed.Tabular Editor is a powerful external tool for managing tabular models, but it's primarily designed for traditional tabular models (not Direct Lake). Consider using scripts or custom solutions to copy Direct Lake models.
For more details, please refer:

So, as things stand today, there isnt a straightforward way to copy/move Direct Lake Semantic models across workspaces .
Guess this would be a good feature to add as it was something that was straightforward in the traditional development approach
Any updates on this since the last conversation? Is it possible today to copy/move Direct Lake semantic model across workspaces?
