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.
Best,
J.
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.
I've had this issue for the last few days too. Having to delete reports in order to re-publish them, but i can only do that if they are not pinned to multiple dashboards / have multiple refresh schedules, as otherwise it is alot of work to reproduce!
It might be a complete coincidence, however, i just tried REFRESH NOW on a session with a different username & with the new Power BI Service interface and it refreshed. All attempts using the login that owns the refresh schedule, which are showing on the old Power BI Service Interface.
I have no idea if it is just timing, of the different user account, or the Power BI Service Interface that made a difference.
Will try and edit another report, and see if i can figure it out.
