How to update data model after incremental refreshed implemented

How do I add more data to my model for a report that is now uploaded to PBI Service and is using Incremental refresh.  This is  the only option I'm given when I try to download a copy. 

 

I normally download the report to make sure I am updating the most recent version.  Make changes then upload the changes.  I had a copy of the report before incremental refresh that I as trying to use to update the report, but it does not let me save.   I get an error message saying that there is already a report with that name.

 

I tried to turn off incremental refresh because I know that this disables the first download option, but I don't see the incremental refresh option when I open desktop and right click the table.

If there is already a thread that addresses this let me know.  I would like to avoid creating a a new report which will generate a new link that my end users don't have and will require several updates in other locations.

    If you are using Power BI Premium per user or Premium you could use the XMLA end point to update your dataset.


    If you cannot do that, you will have to upload your PBIX again and then refresh the dataset to re-load all the data.

      I'll have to open ticket because none of these options are available to me.

        Do you not have access to the .pbix file? Since you are the one who uploaded it initially?
