Hi Anonymous ,

 

Is your procedure like this?
1. Replace the data source of the local .pbix file.
2. Republish the .pbix file.
3. You find that a copy of the original data set is generated in the Service?

I think the possible reason is that you changed the name of the .pbix file. Therefore, the original data set is not replaced in the Service.

If possible, delete the copy directly.

 

Best regards,
Lionel Chen

1. Replace the data source of the local .pbix file  ( is replace data source with an existing Bi Dataset)
2. Republish the .pbix file. (yes)
3. You find that a copy of the original data set is generated in the Service? ( yes another copy with exact same name)
