Microsoft EmployeeShare your thoughts on DirectQuery for Power BI datasets and Azure Analysis Services (preview)
Hi,
We have a dataset that is combing two datasets from separate workspaces. When we renamed one of the workspaces the composite dataset failed, as the connection seemed to be referencing the workspace names, as opposed to the workspace ids. Is this behavious likely to be addressed?
Many Thanks!
Microsoft Employeethe reference by workspace name is actually by design for technical reasons. We will publish a best practices doc that lists this as well as other things. Sorry for the inconvience.
I have a model + thin report and need to rename tables from data source, but this breaks the thin report.
How can I update table names referenced in the report?

have you tried opening the report in Desktop and selecting Refresh?
Yes, it refreshes the dataset and shows new table names but that's the problem... all visuals are bronken because are using old tables fields.
Then only solution I got is to manually edit each report pbix Layout file, but it's not very convenient.
For anyone searching, this (dangerous) solution is described here:
