Hi Anonymous, we work with PBI datasets on a daily basis, updating and expanding upon them: for instance by adding a calculated table to an existing PBI dataset. This way of working is also called the 'Golden Dataset' principle, and will not change IDs of dataset or linked reports.
If you are working in the original file (.pbix) of the dataset, and publish this accordingly, the expected behaviour is that the dataset in the PBI Service will be updated (you will also see a warning in PBI Desktop when publishing notifying you of this).
If the above does not help, could you provide more information on the steps you are actually performing when extending upon an existing dataset?
I have already posted a thread with the issue i am facing. Hope this explains my scenario more.
Please let me know if you find a solution to the above mentioned problem

I responded to the link above - basically it's what I said: this feature allows you to extend / enrich a dataset and publish it as a new artefact. It's not the intent of this feature to overwrite the existing dataset.
