Cannot overwrite an existing report
Hello, I have a published a report with the same name as an existing report in the same workspace but instead of overwriting the old report, a new report with the same name is actually saved in ...
I had a similar issue to what you described in your original post.
My fix was to ensure both the old report and the old dataset had the same name as the pbix file I had made edits to.
Download the old report > make edits > publish with the same edited report with the same name as the old report + dataset name > Overite succeeded!
I also wanted to retain the old usage metrics which this override method allows for as well as keep the original link to the report I had shared with users.
Hope this is helpful - kind regards - Harry
