Hi @Anonymous 

if you want to know all the report names pointing to particular dataset, you can click on the particulate dataset, then 

on this page, you can explore related reports.

if you want to know all the dataset names pointing to particular datasource, maybe you could do it with rest API.

Hey @Anonymous ,

you have to use the Power BI REST APIs to extract this information from the Power BI Serive. These blog posts from the Power BI product team will get you started:

• https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-new-admin-apis-and-service-principal-authentication-to-make-for-better-tenant-metadata-scanning/
• https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-scanner-api-admin-rest-apis-enhancements-to-include-dataset-tables-columns-measures-dax-expressions-and-mashup-queries/

And here you will find the documentation to all the available REST APIs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin

Hopefully, this gets you started to tackle your challenge.
