How to identify the Power BI report being used as Dataset

I have several reports that use another published Power BI report as a dataset.

Earlier, when I would click on Data source settings under Edit Queries, the report being used as the dataset would be highlighted.

Now with the June update to Power BI desktop, it just list ALL THE AVAILABLE REPORTS THAT CAN BE USED AS DATASET. But its impossible to identify the one I am using for the report.

Any suggestions??

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi there

Could you possibly download the June Version again, as there have been 2 updates to Power BI Desktop.

Hopefully that will resolve your error

Tried that.... it did not work. I had to go back to May version to be able to get that information. I hope microsoft fixes it soon.
