i found a way to download all .pbix files in one workspace via powershell. is there also way to publish multiple power bi files in to one workspace (all files will be stored in one folder)?
Thanks for any Help!
i found some ideas to do this via Power BI REST API - but didn't really understand it...
You want the New-PowerBIReport cmdlet, which "Loads a Power BI report from a pbix file and deploys it to the Power BI service."

In this scenario, I am using on premise data source like excel file in power bi. Here I have made some ETL process and Calculations as well. Now the problem is, my client want me to do migrate all on premise data sources into sharepoint. For that, If I change the file path in power bi, can I have all the changes I made earlier?
You don't have to change any transfomations if you read Excel via the web connector. However, if you're using the SharePoint Folder connector (recommended), you'll probably have to add an additional another navigation step to access the sheets.
My business doesn't like using Direct Query. They believe in putting all data in to Power BI via the 'Import' option. This means that whenever our team wants to refresh the data in a Power Bi dashboard, they must:
Download the .pbix file from the SharePoint where they're published.
Open that file in Power BI desktop.
Click to refresh the data from our SQL server.
Re-publish the dashboard.
This has to be done for every single dashboard that we have. This is plainly absurd.
Can either Power Apps or Power Automate be used to refresh several dashboards at once? I don't know what licensing I have for Power Apps, but when I went through the list of connections that the web version let me use, I saw no options for Power BI. As for Power Automate, I saw no way to access my dashboards.
If your data is hosted in your internal network, you need to install the Data Gateway on a machine in your network. You can then use that data gateway for scheduled refresh and don't need to download/refres/upload the pbix file.
The Data Gateway is a free download. You can find links to that in the menus of the Power BI online interface.
I have created a ssrs report with parameters and published it in the server. I want the file to be downloaded without rendering the file. Does anyone know how to achieve to download the power bi report builder output file without rendering the file?
You can download the report definition file in Power BI Report Server/SSRS in two ways. In the service:
And on the SSRS/PBIRS, find the report and select the download option
These files are the report definition (RDL) files, not the rendered versions. You can then use these in Power BI Report Builder or SSDT to alter them.
Is there a difference between looking at the Power BI Desktop File (.PBIX extension) and looking at the report created when you go to Power BI Report Server and click on "Edit in Power BI Desktop"?
Will everything be exactly the same or would it be better to just look at the .PBIX file if I want to see exactly how the report was created?
I am unable to test this myself at this time.
When you open the file that has been uploaded in the Power BI (PBI) Service, you can be certain that this your live file that is currently being used in production.
When you open a .PBIX file on computer using the PBI Desktop, it might be the same file as the file downloaded from PBI Service, but there's no guarantee that no changes have been made to the file.
So if you want to know the current live file looks like, always download the .PBIX file from PBI Service.
I was building a report in Power bi. I did not save the file yet, so by default it was named "Untitled".
Server shut down unexpectedly. After reboot I opened Power BI but. In "View recovered files" I am unable to find the one I was working on.
I'm trying to find the location where Power BI stores .ipbx files but cannot find it.
Does anybody knows is there a chance to recover my Untitled file?
Thanks
Power BI stores temporary saved versions of the PBIX reports you build in the folder:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\TempSaves\
e.g.
C:\Users\augustoproiete\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\TempSaves\
You should find files that look like this:
~$Untitled (Recovered 06d01d5075934de452284d38bd96ddf6bad.pbix
It was hidden for me too. I did a search on my computer for all .pbix files and the search discovered it. I then opened file location and found it. But I could not navigate directly to the location of the backups using Windows 10.
C:\Users\<username>\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop Store App\TempSaves
This is the location of the .pbix auto saved files.
C:\Users\<username>\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop Store App\AutoRecovery
This is the location of any Auto Recovered .pbix files if Power Bi crashes.
