Problems replacing existing Reports and Datasets.
Hi All,
So after a few weeks of phoning with MS Support. They said that depends on the way you uploaded your data to the Power BI service.
Case A: If you upload the file it via Web Service (OneDrive personal or Fro Business) than the republish won't work, but it will republish once the schedule refresh is done and that you have the .pbix file in the same folder.Case B: If you publish with the desktop and desktop only it will be updated just when you need to but not automatically like with OneDrive.
In summary, look in which way you uploaded your file, then check if you have it in the same folder.

PD: I solved my issue so I will close the thread. In case, you still have issues either you write to Microsoft support or create another thread.
Jmenasshirleyss75 I'm not able to reduce the issue on my side. Based on my test in Power BI desktop version 2.46.4732.581 released on 5/5/2017, if there is one dataset with the same name exists on the service, we are able to replace it. In your scenario, please follow below steps to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Please run the same desktop version as ours.
2. Try to open Power BI service, use Get Data -> File to upload .pbix file.
3. If issue persists, please use fiddler to capture trace around the time that issue occurs and share the .saz file here.

Hi v-qiuyu-msft ,
I updated Power BI desktop to the latest version (see screenshot).
Regarding the other method to upload the file via the Get Data in the web service also failed (screenshoot).
Regarding the last trace with fiddler I need to consult my team first and then I update the thread with the .saz file.

Having the exact same issue. Working with MS Support to resolve this but glad that this not isolated to just our business.
