AlexeyRusinov Connecting to the existing dataset will return you the connections from the dataset and allow you to build on top of it. You won't be able to change the connection.
However, it occurs to me that you might be able to change the original dataset.

Do a quick test. Publish Dev, create another report on the dataset using the live connection to the dataset, publish.

Change the original connection in the 1st PBIX and re-publish. I would assume the 2nd report would also update to using the new one... Or, break.

    I will need to publish first PBIX to different place, with different people and different 365 domain using them. Will it still work?
