Hi, Anonymous 

 

You can reference the document:Get started with deployment pipelines - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Mentioned above:

The comparison indicator has two states:

  • Green indicator – The metadata for each content item in both stages, is the same.

  • Orange indicator - Appears if one of these conditions is met:

    • Some of the content items in each stage, were changed or updated (have different metadata).
    • There is a difference in the number of items between the stages.

If it doesn’t solve your problem, please feel free to ask me.

 

Best Regards

    Hi Janey,

    I am aware of the documentation. My question was more in detail: Which metadata is compared by the deployment pipeline?

    I am trying to understand why a dataset is sometimes "different", even it gets deployed to production state. This process should make the two dataset same and not different. Am I correct?

      Hi, Anonymous 

       

      Dataset metadata contains tables, relationships, columns, measures.

      'Different' is normal, each stage can add some data.

        Thanks for the answer.

        But when I deploy the dataset from one stage to another, they should not be different and the indicator should be green, correct?
