Anonymous , What you have highlighted is the different workspaces.  That is possible.

Am I seeing it wrong?

    amitchandak currently, both, the dataset and the report are in the "CRM Reporting" workspace.

     

    A few days ago, I've created a copy of the dataset in "EMEA Shared Data Sources" workspace.

     

    Now, I would like to change the live connection of the report in the "CRM Reporting" to the dataset in the "EMEA Shared Data Sources", and overwrite the existing report in the "CRM Reporting" workspace, but I can't. After I publish the updated report, a new copy of the report with the same name is created.

     

    Thanks

      Hi Anonymous ,

       

      You may  download the pbix file from the report page in Power BI Service, then open in Power BI Desktop to make some desired changes. Then republish the pbix to the same workspace.

        Hi v-xicai ,

         

        thanks for the reply.

        I tried that, but a new copy of the report is created after I publish the report, and with the same name.

        I don't get the "Do you want to overwrite the existing report?" warning.

         

        This is the state of the workspace immediately after I published the updated version of the report (but with the same name):

         

        Is this a bug?

         

        Thanks and best regards,

        Mihael
