Does power bi dataset id value changes when report is modified?

Hi Team

 

Does anyone know if the dataset id of a report can be changed or modified in case that the report is modified?

 

For example  an existing report in PBI service is going to be updated with a new version which includes new tables and sources, once is published, does the dataset change or is it going to be the same? Or could happen that for some other reason or action the dataset id change?

 

Best Regards

Rubén

    Hi, rubendreyes 

     

    The dataset id of a report can change or be modified in some scenarios, such as:

    • 1. Switching the data source of an existing report from a cached dataset to a shared dataset.
    • 2. Transferring the ownership of a report or a dataset to another user.
    • 3. Renaming a report or a dataset in a workspace.

    However, if you only update the report with new tables and sources, but keep the same data source and owner, the dataset id should remain the same.
