Hi lcasey,

 

I notice that before you publish the report to Power BI Service, the report named "Kwiktag" already exists. And after you publish the report, there are two "Kwiktag" reports in your workspace. You can open the first "Kwiktag", it's URL should be the URL you paste in notepad firstly. As they are two separate reports though they have the same name, it's expected they have different URL.

 

 

Generally, if the first report is published from the desktop, when we republish the report, it will prompt us to replace original dataset like below. Once we click the Replace, the original report and dataset will be override by the new one. So there should be one report in the workspace. But from your video, I see it didn't prompt you to replace the dataset when you publish the report. It seams your original report didn't come from the desktop, right?

 

 

Best Regards,

Hello ,

 

Thank You.  You are right, and I think I was in a very frustrateded and hurried mode. Thank you for taking the time to look at this.

 

I actually Got everything working.  Although, I swear, at 1 point there was an issue.

 

 

Also, It would be totally helpful to be able to have a link open in a dialogue box with further exportable details.

    Hi lcasey,

     

    Do you mean you want to download report from Power BI Service? Product team is working on this now, see: Download Reports to a .pbix file.

      No,

       

      When working with a table in Power BI you see records that make up that table.  Within that recordset, I currently can create a URL Link filter to another report.  It is very efficient for the data consumer to be able to click that link and get a very nicely formated dialog box with additional information. Perhaps even a Graph with further drill down capabilites. Although in my experience, data consumers complain about every extra click of the mouse they need to make. Mouse clicks = work.

       

      Example:
