Hi Anonymous ,

 

When you published the report from desktop to the Dev workspace and tried to deploy it using the pipeline to QA, an extra copy of the pbix and dataset was deployed instead of overwriting the existing version in QA. This issue happens every time you try to use the pipeline.Please publish your pbix files in both dev and prod environments.

 

Hope it helps!

Thank you for your answer. What do you mean "This issue happens every time you try to use the pipeline"? If I am right, it should NOT happen every time? Shouldn't it overwrite previous report and dataset (aka semantic model) with same name? I think it should. 

So you mean in Power BI Desktop I should publish report not just dev but development AND production? Is this legit solution? I think then the idea of the deployment pipeline disappears.
