Maintain a Single File When Sharing a Report in Multiple Workspaces - Changes to File do not synch

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I have followed the solution set out in the below video,

I am using a LiveConnection .pbix file, which is located on SharePoint.

I am also using the Get Data from SharePoint option in my workspace to pull the Linked Content and visuals.

However, any changes I make to the Layout in my SharePoint file are not synching at alll to the Report as I would expect?

Is there any solution for this?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please confirm following things:

1.By default, Power BI checks about every hour if a dataset connected to a file on OneDrive or SharePoint Online requires synchronization. Please check within an hour after the file is updated.

2.Did you turn on onedrive refresh in settings?

3.Power BI performs refresh based on an item ID in OneDrive. Did you change the file name? Changing the file name will break OneDrive refreshYou can instead upload and replace file, which keeps its same item ID.

For more information, please refer to: Data refresh in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Hi @v-yadongf-msft , 

The OG Dataset itself comes via Dirtect Query into an SQL Database.
I havepublished this report and dataset and downloaded a LiveConnection version of the report, which is linked to the OG Dataset.

I then user the Get File to get this Linked Report.

My issue is not with Data Synch, but actual physical changes made to the Layout of the Report.

If I delete a filter on my Linked PBIX file, I would expect that physical change to travel throughout my reports in other workspaces, as claimed by the YouTube video linked above.
