create a copy of an existing dashboard and change with data in web app

[rrlacroix]

I uploaded a new semantic model/report to my workspace in the web version. The data is similar data to data used to create previous dashboards. Now I want to copy an existing dashboard (I know how to do that) but load in the data from the new semantic model/report. A former coworker of mine had done this succesful in the past, but i cannot seem to get it to work. I am pretty sure he did this, with the exception of the generation of the new data model/report,  all in the web enverinment. We are pro users. Thanks in addvance.

Hi. I'm not totally sure what you mean with copy existing dashboard loading the data in a new semantic mode. Let me say two things and hope one of them is the requirement.

- You can download the pbix file from the report you want to copy as live connection. Open it and change the semantic model to another one from Power Bi Desktop. Publish back again.

- You can copy a report between workspaces and produce a copy of the semantic model too with the Power Bi Rest API: https://blog.ladataweb.com.ar/post/697833112208539648/simplepbipython-copiar-pbix-entre-áreas-de

I hope that helps,

Hi, thanks for your reply. Downloading the dashboard, changing the data in the desktop version and publishing it back most definetely works. With this post I was just wondering if there maybe was a more elegant  way of doing it, because of the multiple steps involved, but if not, then that is just the way it is. best, Ruben
