I only have one computer to try this on. I can successfully publish when I am replacing the semantic model, but in this case I am only trying to publish a report. The report is linked to a model that is saved under a different name in the workspace.
Hi, @TrainBI
Thank you very much for your reply. If you just publish a report instead of publishing a report + a semantic model. You'll need to link to your workspace's semantic models in Power BI Desktop, and then use those semantic models to build your reports:
When you click Publish to Service, a semantic model is automatically generated in relation to the current report.
