When an organization deploys Power BI apps with hidden datasets, developers are able to maintain a clean end-user experience, while still allowing themselves powerful data structures behind the scenes. This can come in handy when several reports are using a single dataset that may not be very useful for end-users to directly access or interact with. The process is basically to publish a dataset to workspace, build reports from the primary dataset, then finally hide the dataset before publishing the app. At this point, the dataset is still available for the reports that are connected to it, while being invisible in the navigation pane when the app is opened.

Typically students involved in their Power BI Course in Pune learn these deployment methods as part of the app lifecycle management which is critical for building scalable solutions.

It is critically important to ensure all reports using the hidden dataset are adequately tested. Also assume that all the security is being managed appropriately, as once the report is published, the security model must work to allow users 'view' the dataset that is not seen.

In a 'practical' Power BI Training in Pune students would engage in deploying 'workspace' based solutions to only use hidden datasets, that way, data are more 'modular' and maintainable.

In addition, the hands-on projects at the Power BI Classes in Pune would reinforce, complete with best practice project examples, that sensitive datasets can be hidden, while still retaining report functionality.
