Hi everyone,
I have a report on the service for which I created several copies on there with the option Edit -> Save as copy. This is because I have a master report and then I needed several different versions with very small changes (new filters, certain pages hidden, certain hidden pages shown). I did it this way to make sure the reports share the same dataset. However, now I have had to make some important changes in visualizations and the dataset in the master report which I've published to the service with no issues. The problem arises when I want to update the copy reports (which do have the dataset changes but do not have the visual changes), because if I Edit -> Save as copy the master report, even when I name it exactly the same as one of the copies, it just creates a new copy report with the same name. I tried downloading the copy report and making the changes on Desktop, but when I try to publish -after PBI prompts whether I want to replace the report and I accept- it gives me an error saying "There is an existing report/dataset with the same name. Please delete or rename the existing dataset and retry" which is strange because that's the whole point of replacing the report.
I really need the copy reports to keep their links and access because they are published embedded in different websites and I can't go through each of them and update them all. And making the changes on the visuals directly on the service for the copy reports would be a nightmare since you can't copy/paste visuals across different reports on there.
So how can I replace reports that were created on the service with the "save a copy" option?
