How to update existing dashboard with new data from updated dataset?
Hi LarsPW ,
You can refresh the dataset, download the PBIX file, open the PBIX file in Power BI Desktop, modify it, and then upload it to the appropriate workspace, you can choose to overwrite the original report or create a new report.
For dashboards, if you pin the entire report page as a dashboard, you replace the old report after updating the report in desktop, and the dashboard will be automatically updated. If you're pinning a single visual as a tile, you'll need to recreate the dashboard.
Please refer to the following documents for more information.

But if I download a new PBIX file, I need to re-create all of the visuals again right? or what do you mean by "modify it"?
that's a process I want to avoid
Hi LarsPW ,
If you download pbix from a dataset/report, the rendered report after opening it in Desktop renders the same as the report in the service (not blank).
If you don't need to modify the visuals on the report, you only need the report to display the latest data, then you don't need to download PBIX, you only need to refresh on the service.Best Regards,
