Create multiple apps from same workspace infect from same Dataset without replicating the dataset multiple times. only option we have now is to update the app and only one app per workspace can be created which a kind of restrict the workspace usability. If we can create multiple apps share it with different users without creating multiple workspace ... means same dataset no dataset replication, will save the storage as well.

September 2024: Org apps as items are now in public preview - support for multiple apps per workspace, custom colors, and more: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/org-app-items/org-app-items
May 2024 update: We are working on creating a separate app as an artifact which will release in the coming months. thank you all for the feedback.
March 2022 update: we plan to have a private preview soon and hopefully release to the public in July

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
This is absolutely needed to rival other platforms like Qlik. We were planning to use workspaces as a UAT type situation and publish to apps once finalized. This does not look like we can do this now. In Qlik, you can have multiple apps per stream.
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
'This proves Power BI is not ready yet for Enterprise Level BI Implementation. Quite surprised to see how this idea is turned down just like that.
We have reports built for about 10 different departments with specific Dev, UAT and Live environments. Because of Workspace 1-1 relationship we are stuck with 30 workspaces. I hear Lukasz point that shared dataset address the part of the problem by not building many datasets for the same visual representation of the model i.e. in Dev, UAT.
The request here is, how you bundle and deploy contents of workspace to different security groups isolating each other such as sales, marketing and customer care.
@Lukasz can you explain why you believe shared dataset will address the need of multiple apps per workspace?
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
This feature is still very much required. I want to upload and refresh one version of a report and allow it to be to visible to different groups of staff via apps. I do not want to have to schedule the same report to refresh multiple times which having it in multiple workspaces would force me to do. Please add this feature.
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
Limiting to one app really limits central reporting as getting up to director level summaries are such a hassle of wading through the detail needed for other reporting bodies. All of these report levels come from the same data source so it would be a painful act of duplication to produce multiple workspaces for these, especially with the limited ability to pull information between workspaces. Please reconsider!!!
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
The proposed direction will result in the continued growth of Workspaces in our organisation. This is a real hassle when my group manages a central reporting function. If the Workspace numbers continue to grow then we will need a good way or organising them rather than just a flat list of Workspaces on the Power BI service
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
It's a disappointing response.
We are now rethinking the way we work with workspaces and having more than one app would be perfect for our need.
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
Really needed if we want to use apps to share reports to users
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
very disappointing response. Vithal's comment from 9/4/19 is a perfect description of the way this needs to work. A single app is basically useless. The need is to be able to select from the reports in the workspace and publish an app for a single individual or a select group within the larger organization or a group outside the organization. What organization wants to share all reports with all parties? I struggle to understand the position stated in the admin response.
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
It will be wonderful to have this, as our B2B business and B2C business can have better synergy from the insights of products and solutions from same dataset, while getting ease of use for multiple perspectives.
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
Why do I want to share a dataset when all I want to do is share a subset of reports in a workspace? This does not make any sense. If I have 50 reports in a workspace and out of which I want to share 10 reports with Sales, 10 with Marketing, 10 with Finance, 10 with Tax and remaining with IT, It would have been great if we could create five apps and add reports to the apps accordingly. But as of now, the only way is create five different worksapces and one app per workspace. I cannot see how allowing discovery of datasets across different workspaces addresses this requirements.
Power BI uptake will increase by many folds if this feature is implemented. This is not only a great way of keeping content in one workspace and sharing with different teams, this will also take care of security.
Please reconsider your decision not to allow multiple apps for worksapce. A big opportunity wasted.
