Hi XchangeVisions ,

 

It appears that you do want to overwrite since you brought it down, modified it and want the new version to be available.  When you publish the file, then it is in Power BI Service and available there and should be used rather than a .pbix file in OneDrive.

 

You can change the datasource for your report if that data is in OneDrive.  There are two aspects here, the data is coming from a location (perhaps OneDrive, perhaps elsewhere) and the report itself is a file that is accessed by the users to see the dataset.  This article might be helpful in breaking down the differences between dataset and report.

Hi collinq 

 

Thanks for your reply.

However, it's is not helping me as I know the difference between a report and dataset.

Hence I find it a bit lame that you plug your own irrelevant blog post to this question.

 

I just want to know if and how I can fix the cloud refresh error when publishing.
