Power BI Design Strategies
- Templates as good part of design strategy
Transfer Power BI without data
Was looking for a method to transfer a Power BI model between remote computers.
From the above talk, saving a Power BI as a template, strips all the data away and the file becomes much smaller.
The template may then be transferred to another machine.
Also, have put the template in Git source control – as it no longer contains data.
When the template is opened, it creates a new document and immediately reconnects to data sources and loads the data. The file may then be saved locally
