I decided to go through Options and I may have hit on a solution.  In Options -> Global -> Preview Features I checked 'DirectQuery for PBI datasets and AS' and that does an irreversible change from Live Connection to DirectQuery and allows you to have a local model.  I created a local model (Transform Data) and added a blank query.   When I published that it overwrite my old report.  I made a second change and published it, and that also overwrote the first, so it seems repeatable.      Aside from this publish issue not working with Live Connection I am not sure whether Live Connection or DirectQuery is best connection choice for my report so I'd still like to know how to do it with a Live Connection to PBI dataset if anyone has ideas.
