Overwrite already existing Published Dashboard

[KrisT]

Hi All,

Before the January 2016 desktop software update, I was able to Publish changes made in the Desktop version of PowerBI to the web for others to access as live tile reports, coupled with a few web only reports from data queries.

With the recent January update of the desktop software, whenever I click Publish, I now get an error stating "This report was already published to the selected destination".

Does anyone know if this is a bug/intentional?

Thank you

Just a heads up to everyone with this issue. I installed the 64bit version from here and that seemingly solved the problem. I'm unsure if it is the 64 bit version which provided the fix, or if a minor update had been pushed out since I created this topic.

Try reinstalling the desktop software from the link I provided.

I'm with the same problem. My solution is delete all data from powerbi online and then publish again. I think it is an issue.

Thanks for your response.  Unfortunately deleting everything online, re doing every query, and then resharing dashboards after every change to the design wouldn't be viable!

Here's hoping it is just an issue that is going to be resolved.

The only thing that I need to delete is the dataset on powerBI online

Hope a quick solution for this too.

Clicking Remove on the dataset gives me the following warning: 'All reports and dashboard tiles containing data from this dataset will also be deleted'. I'm hesitant to click the button.

If I were to upload a new dataset with the same name, would the reports and dashboards become re-populated with that new data?

If you delete your dataset, you will lose everything. I try to add a new page to my report and republish, but unsuccessful. If you have dashboards don't delete your dataset online. We will need to wait for a solution.
