    Hi Pawan_123, Hope you are doing good !

    This can happen due to several reasons:

    1. Dataset and Report Relationship: Power BI distinguishes between datasets and reports. When you change the dataset to which a report is connected, Power BI may treat the report as a new entity, especially if the dataset resides in a different workspace.

    2. GUIDs and Identifiers: Each dataset and report in Power BI is identified by a unique GUID. When you change the dataset (even if the schema and data are identical), the report's connection to the dataset might be considered a different object.

    Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution! Appreciate your Kudos !

yes, this behaviour is expected. two reports with different "data source names" can have the "same report name" in the same workspace. Since there is no new dataset created with Live connection, two reports can have the same name. This is obviously confusing and should be avoided, but it has always been allowed.
