Hi Soham,

 

Turns out I was publishing a report using my PowerBI account, but logged onto the PowerBI Web on my Boss's Account.

As a result, the new report I was publishing wasn't showing up on his.

Hope this helps.

    Hi all,

    I faced the same issue.

    While publishing a report, it creates a new report with the same name instead of replacing the existing one.

    I was logged in the web and desktop with the same credentials.

    Can anyone please help me?
