Power BI service
- 5 months agoFrom Microsoft Learn, 'You can use the Power BI service live connection feature to create multiple reports in .pbix files from the same semantic model, and save them to different workspaces.' Connect to semantic models in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft LearnSo Microsoft does not impose a cap on how many reports can be connected to one model.
While the number of reports is unlimited, there are limits that can affect scalability, such as concurrent users opening reports, number and complexity of visuals, heavy DAX measures, refreshes running at the same time etc.

Solved: Power BI - Multiple Reports, One Semantic Model - Microsoft Fabric Community

There's no official documented limit on how many reports you can connect to a single semantic model. In practice, you can have as many reports as you want — it's one of the main advantages of separating the semantic model from the report layer.
The only real constraints are workspace-level storage limits (1TB per premium workspace, 10GB per Pro workspace) and the semantic model size limit (1GB for shared/Pro, larger for Premium depending on capacity). Those apply to the model itself, not to the number of reports using it.
So the recommended pattern is actually to build one well-structured semantic model and then create multiple focused reports on top of it — for example, a finance report, an ops report, and an executive summary all connecting to the same dataset. This keeps your data logic in one place and makes maintenance much easier.
Hi Kajal_Patil ,
There is a limit of 1000 items per workspace.
