Disconnect Power BI Report from Power Platform Data Source
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.
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...

I believe you can do CTRL+A to copy and paste a whole page to another report, that makes it a little less cumbersome.
When live connected to a Power BI dataset you can indeed not change it to an offline source. Although not want you want, you can however change to a different dataset already in the service by clicking on Edit Queries > Data source settings.
Did this help you or did I answer your question?
Then please give kudos or mark my post as a solution!

nickyvvthank you, Nicky, Ctrl-A does help - though sadly still have to re-create my (rather substantial) number of bookmarks!
