How to duplicate an existing Report Builder report via Request Manager

Avatar

Level 2

Hi,

 

I have created a report builder report with a dozen metrics.  Is there a way to duplicate the report so I don't have to specify the same metrics to pull every time?  Looking at the report request manager (screenshot attached), I don't see an option to duplicate.

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

It looks like you're still using the old report builder. My advice would be to switch to the new one, because I know there is a way to do it in the new one (I don't think the old one has the ability to just copy). 

You can download the new report builder from the Microsoft store https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-sg/product/office/WA200003101?tab=Overview

 

Once you have it, create a data block. There is an option then to "copy data block". Copy it, click where you want the new table to be and click "paste data block". You then have two data blocks that you can work with, and you can continue to edit both of them individually.

Yeah, sadly, the old Report Builder has no "copy" function... something that was a constant source of frustration!

 

Thank goodness that has been addressed in the new Report Builder.
