You can't combine imported data with live data in Power BI data model.

Hi @harsha449,

 

>>When I'm trying to replace data source of existing report from 'excel' to 'power bi service'.

Current power bi not support combine import and live mode datasource at same report. If you want to use live mode datasource, you need to re-create new report.
