I have the same problem when I want to replace existing dataset after a few changes made localy. I can upload it as a new file without any problem, but replacing it cause this error message above. 

 

It is frustrating, because I have already built a many reports above this dataset. And if I create new one, I would throw them all away :(

 

Thanks,

Lubos

Small update:

 

I have found out that problem is when I have the same excel attached as PowerBI report as well as PowerBI data model. It cause that I cannot overide existing data model. Howerver when I remove PowerBI Excel report then model can be replaced using upload.
