    In Power BI Desktop, re-publish the updated .pbix with the same name to the same workspace to overwrite the existing dataset and report.

     

    The other way to update datasets is refreshing in the Service (either scheduled or ad hoc), assuming you have any necessary data gateways.

IF you have a PBIX file with the same name as the previous published Dataset/report, when you update the report and publish that the old dataset will be replaced by new one.

Check the new file name and make sure both have a same name.
