    Hi rickymcmaster 

     

    There are any option that I can think of is to use git integration and get. the PBIX file into source control and doing it that way you would get the data set and the report. What you could then do is get the pbip file and open that in Power BI desktop which will allow you to then get the report.

I had this same problem.

Assuming your semantic models have near identical structures with all measures the same etc. 

 

good old select all, copy & paste between the downloaded version and the new version connecting to the semantic model I needed to use.

 

Another avenue that may work for you if it's identical schemas is downloading both the report from the relevant workspaces, rename of extension from <.pbix> to <.zip> and using notepad++ or some other pure text editor to copy and paste the data from the Connections file into the other and see if you have any joy
