Hello Lin, thank you for your reply.

While your suggestion is certainly viable, I still have some doubts.
Assuming I create some sample data and import them through excel, how am I going to manage the connection to the real data source inside the application itself?

I mean, the reports I would be building would use the sample data as a data source, not the real one.

    Hi,

    I also have the same question. I have created a template app using on-premise data source, and configured the connection settings through power bi workspace. Now, I don't want to show 'Connect your data' in the user-interface of the app. Do you have any idea how can I remove 'Connect your data' box?
