Hi StanS ,

Please sign in Power BI Service and select the workspace which the report locate in. And click "Get Data" and navigate to Files menu to click "Get" to upload the related report file(.pbix). Later check whether the report can be replaced successfully...

Best Regards

Hi

This problem starts yesterday - 2022 Sep-29 -  for me, and it happens just in My Workspace. I used to republish reports daily, and I never ha ever see this error.

Can I try something to solve it and back to republish reports directly from Power BI Desktop?

Thank you

      One of the reasons this happens is also related to the connected data source. If the .pbix file you are publishing was initially downloaded from the workspace, you might need to reconnect again to the source or instead go to the original report on the power Bi workspace> File> download this file and select "A copy of your report and data (.pbix)"

    All,

     

    The Get Data steps do allow me to refresh the content of my online reports, so that is a good thing, but such a pain to do the extra steps. What I'm seeing now is when I try to republish, PBI goes ahead and starts publish, but then stops with the error. Before when it saw that the file already existed, it would ask if I wanted to overwrite it, and I'd say yes and it would proceed. Now it's not asking me if I want to overwrite...
