Solution SageShow visual from Report A in Report B?
Solution SageThanks lbendlin !
This looks promising.
However I seem not to be able to copy 1 visual of the original to the new blank report.
I can copy the original vizual but it does not let me paste it in the new blank report.
Do you know what I am doing wrong?
Also it seems I can only choose 1 dataset.
How would I get visuals from Report B into the newly generated (blank) report?
Super UserAnother option is to open the original report in the workspace and then save a copy. After that you can edit the copy and add/remove visuals and pages.

Ok thanks again lbendlin but that is only half of the issue.
I make a copy of Report A, but I don't need to take things out.
I need to add visuals that are in Report B and report B is a different dataset than Report A.
So is my conclusion right that you cannot do this with Power BI?
You cannot show visuals from 2 different reports and datasets in 1 report in the services?

You can do that in Power Bi Desktop. Connect to different datasets. Join them if you want (but not required). Create visuals based on these datasets.
It doesn't seem possible to do that in the Power BI service just yet. (You could consider using dashboards but that may not be the UX you want).

Yes first thing I thought about was also pulling in the dataset of Report B into A.
But then I have maintenance in 2 places because dataset of Report B is not fully automatic.
Also it rather big so for 2 report pages of Report B in Report A I would triplle the size of Report A.
That is not really efficient.
Guess for now the best solution is to make a power point for the end user.
Link all pages of Report A in and 2 from Report B.
Was hoping something similar could be done with embeding in the service but unfortunately not.
