Power BI Report Publishing Problem: Duplicate Reports and Semantic Models
Thank you for your comprehensive response, I greatly appreciate it!! However, I didn't get help from that, at least not something concrete that would help me fix the problem. What differences can there be in the data source? How can I find out the details of the previous data source, such as authentication methods?
By the way, I noticed that Power BI has for some reason created a new semantic model, as it has assigned me as the owner of the semantic model (my colleague still owns the original semantic model). Does this help at all? What other additional information could I provide?
How can I proceed or how can I fix this issue?
Helper IAlready a pretty old topic, but I ran into the very same issue today.
For me, this was caused by using folders.
In Power BI options and Settings, under Preview Features, ensure that you have the 'Enhance publish dialogs' and the 'Publish dialogs support folder selection' checkboxes checked. Then, on publish, make sure you publish to the same folder as the original report was in. Power BI will then detect that there is already a report with that name and will ask you if you want to overwrite that report.
