Importing reports from one Workspace to another

[abdul_rehman]

Hi,

Can I import/copy reports from one workspace to another? Both workspaces have same dataset.

Thanks.

It's a little ridiculous that this functionality does not exist. Are there plans to allow copying reports from one workspace (esp a Shared Workspace) to another???

@meemster You need to look at when these responses were posted...well over a year ago. There are now powershell commands that let you copy objects from one workspace to another, or copy the workspace.

I did look at the timestamps. Not trying to be argumentative, but 2 things:

1) I'm on a Mac, so no Powershell unless I install VM Ware or something similiar

2) This should just be a function that is native to the app

This feature would be extremely helpful for my organization as well!  Does anyone know of any updates to this type of functionality?

Hi @abdul_rehman,

In addition, a similar idea has been shared on Power BI Ideas. You can vote it up and add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.

Voted. Thanks.

@abdul_rehman There is currently no way to copy objects from one workspace to another. If you started things in the PBI Desktop you could re-publish to any workspace, although you would still lose any dashboards.

@Seth_C_Bauer, Ouch!

The issue is that users have made multiple reports using PBI Service so I guess they can't be moved to new workspace.

Thank you for the help.
