Publishing from desktop application to group workspace

Is there a way for me to publish a report created in the desktop application to a workspace? Every time I publish, the report goes directly to my personal workspace.  Is there a way around this? A...

    Hope this gets done soon, groups are by far the most disappointing feature that isn't fully baked in PowerBI.  We need to not only be able to publish from the Desktop but move reports between groups.  How this was missed form product development is very puzzling.  Also, SSAS Tabular data connections do not work in groups, so it pretty much makes the whole feature set impossible to use for all of my use cases.

The work around that works well for me:

 

  1. Save the .pbix file locally
  2. In PowerBI, select "Get Data"
  3. Under Files. Select "Get"
  4.  Select "Local File"
  5. Browse and find your .pbix file

Et voila!

    Brian,

      That solves the issue of getting data to your personal workspace, but we needed to move between shared workspaces.  Sounds like Microsoft are working on it.

      Hi Pete,

       

      I apologize for the confusion. What I meant was:

       

      Once you're in the group view, THEN:

       

      1. Save the .pbix file locally
      2. In PowerBI (within your group workspace), select "Get Data"
      3. Under Files. Select "Get"
      4. Select "Local File"
      5. Browse and find your .pbix file

      Et voila!

        brianjsvehaug, but this method doesn't work well in cases when reports are updated right? If I publish the report again from the desktop app and hits replace, it won't replace this copy. Am I wrong here?
