Question

Your team has built a certified enterprise semantic model in a Fabric workspace. Multiple report authors across different departments need to create their own Power BI reports using this exact model without duplicating the data or the model logic. What is the recommended approach to enable this reuse?

Accepted Answer

Have authors connect to the published shared semantic model using a live connection when building their reports

Answer

Have each author import the underlying tables into their own separate semantic model in Power BI Desktop

Answer

Distribute a .pbit template file containing a copy of the model to each author

Answer

Export the semantic model to a .pbids file and share it so each author gets an independent copy
