Created a PBIX called Appointments Master in Desktop, and published up to the service. No problem there, I can see a dataset called Appointment Master in the desired Workspace in the service. Next, starting with Desktop, I created a live connection to the Appointments Master dataset in order to create an Appointments report. The Appointments report is then published up to the service in the desired Workspace. Appointments Master and Appointments are intended to be two distinct entities. One contains the data model, the other the actual report.
Problem: After publishing, I see the Appointments report in the Workspace, but not the dataset. If one wanted to download the PBIX of the Appointments dataset in order to modify in Desktop, you can't find the dataset to download. It seems the only way to modify the Appointments report is to edit directly in the Service, but my preference is to use Desktop.

Actually no, the dataset for the "linked" report doesn't appear where I published it - it doesn't appear anywhere. However, the report does appear, and I found out you can download the PBIX associated with the report by opening the report and selecting File => Download the pbix file.
I guess that does kind of promote the "master" dataset idea - only the master dataset appears. All linked reports don't appear as datasets, but you still can get to the PBIX when necessary.
Hi @YellowDog
It is correct that the Appointments report you will not see the dataset in the same app workspace.
This is because the dataset lives in another app workspace. You appointments report has got a connection to the dataset in another app workspace
Yes as it stands today sometimes you cannot download the PBIX from the service. Best practise is to always start with the desktop PBIX file, make changes and publish that up to the PBI Service. In doing so you always have got the original copy.
