Reports won't publish - Direct Query
Hi ViralPatel212 - Your assumption is correct in most cases: when you publish a Power BI report, it should simply replace the existing report in the Power BI Service and reflect any updates made.
If your report is using a Live Connection to a semantic model (like Analysis Services or Power BI dataset), the underlying dataset changes are controlled by the model. Any report-specific changes should still be reflected after publishing, as long as they don’t conflict with the dataset schema.If the dataset is managed in another workspace, ensure that workspace is accessible and the dataset hasn’t been modified or removed.
Verify that your changes in Power BI Desktop are saved before publishing.
Ensure you’re connected to the correct semantic model or dataset in Power BI Service.
Hope this information helps.
