Hi,
I am using power bi embedded to show some reports in my web application.
Each of our customers has a single installation with its own database available: however, the databases of the individual installations have the same schema and data model.
I am interested in using the Power bi Embedde - Dynamic Binding functionality, which seems to be right for me in order to avoid having to create and maintain many copies of the same report to link to different datasets (one for each database).
However I cannot understand how I can create different datasets in different workspaces that share the same data model with the original dataset of the report but different source (the database of the installation): i uses different workspeces for different installations.
Someone who has addressed or knows the subject would be able to help me?
Thank you for your availability
Hi @servicetagapp , @whips ,
Did you find a resolve for this? Can you please share if you did?
Hi @servicetagapp , do you mean each customer installs the database and maintain the data at their own side?
Hi,
No, we manage the customer databases.
In power bi I can access the databases through the gateway.
My problem is about creating a different dataset for each customer database to be connected to the single report instance in power bi.
I would like to have a single report instance and dynamically link it to the various dataset instances: each dataset instance will point to a customer dabase (the databases all have the same data model)
I had read that it was possibile with Power BI Embedded - Dynamic Binding, but I didn't understand how I can create the different dataset instances in power bi without creating a new report for each dataset.
Thank you for your availability
Did you ever figured out how to create the datasets? I'm have a similar use case and can't quite figure out how to make the datasets without a report for each.
