Solved: Is it possible to link a page to someone else's vi...

Hi All!

My team is working on a dashboard and we each have a visualization (in our own .pbix file) for our specific specialty. We've been asked to show all the visualizations in one Dashboard file in the team's Workspace.

Is it possible to have one .pbix file that we pubish, which has pages that it pulls from each of our separate .pbix files? So as we update our own files this published one will automatically update?

I hope this makes sense! Thanks for any guidance!

@colettb You can do this using a dashboard in service. Most people wrongly use the terms reports and dashboards interchangeably. A very common misconception among people new to Power BI. A dashboard in the service or report server is a collection of different visuals from different reports displayed as individual tiles. After each of you have published your pbix files i.e. reports in service, create a dashboard in an appropriate workspace and start adding visual tiles from each of your reports. Later you can include this dashboard in an app if you wish.

Note: Dashboards cant be created or edited in Power BI desktop, only in report server or service.

Read about Shared Semantic Models. They come with extra maintenance (access control etc).
