Occupy different data sets in Service PBI

Dear All!

 

Pls I need your help.

 

I have two projects published in the Power BI service, but I need to know how I can use the dataset from Project 1 in Project 2. My project 1 is very large and constantly uploading data slows down the automated reload process.

 

 

Regars.

Hi @rod_puente,

 

Yes, it is possible to utilize the dataset from Project 1 in Project 2 without the need to reload or duplicate the data. Power BI supports shared datasets, which allow you to build reports in one project using a dataset published in another. To achieve this, open Power BI Desktop for Project 2, navigate to Get Data > Power BI Datasets, and select the dataset from Project 1. This approach enhances performance and ensures data consistency by relying on a single, centralized dataset. Please ensure that you have the necessary permissions and that both projects reside in the same workspace, or appropriate access is granted across workspaces.

 

If this solution worked for you, kindly mark it as Accept as Solution and feel free to give a Kudos, it would be much appreciated!
