Where specifically is the Archived Workspace
Hello
I was looking through what specifically is the Archived Workspace in PowerBi and I could not find a place that explicitly says that this is the Archived Workspace. I know on the left navigation it has Workspace and My Workspace but no Archived Workspace. I have the free version of PowerBi and can publish to a public URL for the reports but wanted to know the best method to save the report for quarterly purposes. I know you can save the pbi file and rename each time but was wondering if there was a more efficient way.
Hello Herbert,
I apologize as I may sound dense but was wondering that if theres anything listed in the My Workspace is going to considered Archived Workspace. I have reports that I need to run quarterly off the Power Bi and to save them I would need to save the actual Power Bi working file that I have been using on my desktop version and rename it.
If could read through the summary below to make sure it is accurate when its comes to Power Bi.
I added data to Power Bi Desktop by linking to a O365 SP list. I created the reports in Power Bi and published to O365 Power Bi and the reports are in 'My Workspace'. I have published to web the reports from O365 Power Bi. If I want to archive the current Power Bi report, I would need to save the pbix file and rename is accordingly. I was able to delete the report in the My Workspace>Reports section and the published report was unable to pull data, but when i reopened up the original pbix file on desktop and published to O365 I was able to publish the report again.
Is the above all accurate? Also just to reiterate, the best way to archive a current report or take a snapshot of the repot is to save the pbix working file at that time the reports were created and do not refresh.
