@powerbiexpert22  you can repoint your Report from one model to another model without even downloading it. Please check out the below Report Rebind in Group API documentation. All you need is the Workspace ID, Report ID and Target Dataset / Model ID. Use "Try It" option to open the API sandbox.

Hi @powerbiexpert22 

You can change the semantic model from the data source settings.

Hi @powerbiexpert22,

You can follow the below steps to change the LIVE connection data source
Transform Data(drop dwon) --->> Data source settings (Pop up window opened for OneLake, here you can see other semantic models) --->> Select appropriate semantic model / source --->> Click on Connect button.
