245: MAILBAG: Migrating from Laptop to Cloud

Mike, Seth, & Tommy go through a mailbag on today's episode: Thank you for providing so much helpful Power BI information. My question - - how can I migrate my Power BI setup from a standalone laptop to a cloud server? This means the reports, pbix files, usdr security and most importantly the data connections. I understand the pbix files can be copied to the new server and opened but how do I reestablish data data connections (several of which are for Cloud based apps like Netsuite) and user security. Wlill I get prompted for these when I reopen the pbix file on the cloud server instance? Your guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Om Podcasten

Hosted by Mike Carlo, and Tommy Puglia, the Explicit Measures Podcast is a Power BI focused show that is like being around a Power BI Pro’s Water Cooler. With so many available resources in the community that focuses on the “how” in Power BI (how to do Drill Through, how to use DAX, etc.,), the Explicit Measures Podcast is all around the WHY. Why use a particular feature, does it make sense for my users? Build the toolset, learn the how, and then come to the Podcast to the listen to the why in situations we all experience as Power BI Pros.
