A Power BI File Template

We have the following two site collections with the same structure of the List data.

  • I have a list named “R1” in my first site collection which is “VamsiDemo”.

I have a list named “R1” in my second site collection which is “Surendra”.

  • Assume that “R1” list is available in other 50 sites or site collections with the same list schema. The data would be different on every site.
  • The client is looking to generate a different Power BI report for every site collection from one generalized template where all the charts are already created.
  • User will open the template file and add their credentials and generate the report automatically. They will save the report in their local machine and publish the report to their own “My Workspace”.
