We have, online, a PowerBI report that has a dataset.
I want to add to that dataset. How on earth can I do that!
I have downloaded the wreteched thing with the online data option and gone through the extremely painful process of figuring out the table query so that it actually appears in the report.
But then the only option there appears to be publish... though that then wants to replace it all! I just want to add to the data set.
So how do I that - update the online dataset?

There is not currently an option to edit a Dataset online that was created in Desktop
