Change datasource for a dashboard
serargi Yes. If this is shared with the workspace then it technically isn't owned by the workspace. It is owned in the Personal workspace. If it was originally published directly to the group workspace it would just automatically update.
If you are sharing content with a wider audience, it is recommended that it never originate in your personal workspace. I would publish the new one, rebuild the dashboard and share it with the same end users and remove the old one.
serargi The only way this doesn't work is if the user built the report off the dataset in the Service rather than in the PBIX...
All my tests of altering the report, or making edits still result in the report being overwritten. The only other thing I could think of is that the dataset names have a space in them that make them different before or after.
Hello Eno,
There is no space in the name, is the same PBIX (opened from a shared folder). But when I published using desktop version, powerbi create new one.
Could it be because is a copy from a personal workspace to a public workspace? powerbi only overwrites when they have same owner? there is any chance to change the owner?
