    I see the data and modelling options appear only for original dataset and not for the dependent reports(report created from datasets) even if we download the report .pbix. To reuse the visuals and bookmarks, instead of copy-paste all the visual to new report, you could model and publish your excel based dataset to service and point the report which you intent to reuse to newly published(excel based) dataset. 

     

    v-diye-msft  I am too interested to see an option to  change the source other than  PBI service datasets. 

     

    If it helps, mark this as a solution.

Hi Anonymous 

 

You can download the pbix here:

The report will be kept and you can also use the dataset for further modifications.

v-diye-msft Hi Dina, I can download the pbix file fine, but the problem isn't downloading the file, the file is still connected to the dataset which means I cannot connect to another non-live dataset (e.g. a csv file not on the Power Platform [e.g. Power BI dataset]).

 

The only way that seems to be possible is to manually copy and paste every single visual from every single screen to a new Power BI report, which seems like madness to me...
