Hi sophie63,

 

I'd like to suggest you publish origianl report to power bi service, then create a new report with power bi service as datasource. It will change to live connection mode, but I haven't found a solution to keep original visuals.

 

BTW, I also test with smoupre's workaround, but it seems not works.
