Replace PBIX file in power bi service

Hi All,

 

Please refer to this link: Replace PBIX file in Embedded

I need to do the exact same thing in Power BI service.

 

Using API i have uploaded (import) PBIX file to power bi service. It created report and dataset for the PBIX. I would like to replace the existing PBIX file with a new one. How can I override the existing report and keeping the same dataset Id?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Try to access the import API with nameConfilct parameter. Check Create Import.
