    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.

Thank you v-diye-msft I would really appreciate that.  And thank you VasTg I didn't think of modelling the data in Excel and turning that into a new dataset to connect 'live' -- that worked!

Glad it helped..

 

Thats how we handle ALM with Dev, Beta and Prod workspaces simply by changing the datasource on the dataset and pointing the report to corresponding datasets.
