PBI Desktop doesn't sync dataset from Web App

[arifuddin]

Hello Friends,

I am very new to PBI. I am using a free version to learn and test. Here is my situation.

- I have created a dash board and report in web app.

- now i have downloaded a desktop app and singed in with the same username.

But I dont see my dash board or report or dataset in Desktop App.

Doesnt it not sync with web app?

Please advise.

Regards,

Arif

Hi,

Actually I have found the solution. I missed the very basic job. I worked in my Laptop and saved the file in my laptop. When I logged in from my desktop I though it should be synced.

Now I logged in from my laptop and found the file.

Thanks for your concern.

Regards

Arif

@arifuddin In Power BI Desktop you must to click "File" and "Publish" to your account.

No, the Desktop does not sync with the Service. You generally create a dateset and report in the Desktop and then publish it to the Service. It does not flow the other direction.
