Helper IPublishing from Desktop overwrite report
Helper IHi v-robertq-msft ,
Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately, when I use a different name it creates a new dataset also.
I need to have the same dataset for the 2 reports.
thks
Community SupportHi, azizdoghmi
According to your description, you want to publish a new report to the same workspace from the Power BI desktop and don’t add a new dataset in the workspace, I think you can try to connect to the dataset in the desktop and publish to the same workspace. After my test, this method will add a new report to the workspace without adding the same dataset with another name, you can take a look at my method:
- Connect to the dataset in desktop:
- Then create the report, click save as to name the report with a different name
- Then go to the Service, I found the report is added and the dataset is same as before:
And you can achieve what you want. For more information, please check this document:
