Hi @user900 ,
Both methods will achieve the effect you want.
1. Download and re-upload the semantic model. This method requires publishing it back to the Power BI service under a different name. All visuals and configurations of massive reports are retained, which is a significant advantage. However, be sure to adjust your RLS settings as needed for your new audience.
2. Use the Power BI semantic model connector under Get Data. This method can be very time-consuming for reports with a large number of visuals. This approach is more suitable for scenarios that require significant changes to the data model or visuals.
Both approaches achieve the desired result, which is to create separate reports for different audiences and adjust data visibility. However, the first option (downloading and re-uploading the semantic model) may be more efficient and straightforward, since you want to maintain the same visual effect. Additionally, since you want to implement row-level security, make sure the security roles and rules are properly defined in the Power BI Desktop file before publishing.
If your Current Period does not refer to this, please clarify in a follow-up reply.
