Power BI Rest API - Rebind Report In Group

[Anonymous]

Hello team,

I tried to use Rest API Rebind Report in Group. Below is my Scenario:

Source Dataset : Power BI Dataset 1 connected to AAS Server in Workspace 1

Rebind Report: Report 1 connected live to Dataset 1 in Workspace 1

Target Dataset: Power BI Dataset 2 Connected to AAS Server in Workspace 2 (Composite)

Responses : 200 OK

When i Check in Lineage view of Workspace 1, The report is Rebinded to Target Dataset. But when i download the particular Report the data set is still reflected to power BI Dataset 1 (Source Dataset)

The main purpose is to change the dataset without changing the Report ID since the reports are embedded to our portal.

Any Leads to this issue?

I have done as you have mentioned above. I found out from Microsoft that the changes will be done in Service but the pbix file we need to change the dataset to target manually. 

THanks for your help

Hi @Anonymous ,

If I understand correctly, you are trying to rebind the report to another dataset. And the related REST API works well, but the download pbix file still display the old dataset. Am I right? How did you rebind the report to the dataset? You can refer the following links to get it:

Reports - Rebind Report In Group - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

1. Get workspace id and report id

2. Call REST API

POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/reports/{reportId}/Rebind

If the above one are OK, please delete all of the pbix file of that report in computer directory first. Then refresh the report and download it again, check if it still have the "old" dataset in Power BI Desktop.

Best Regards
