Swap semantic model in Power BI Service
Hi, I created a report directly in the service based on a semantic model in another workspace, and now I'd like to change the source to a semantic model in the same workspace as the report. However, ...
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.
You're missing the point.
In the Desktop you can do that. But the point is that we made a report online (in the Service) that is not downloadable because of a scrazy limitation (report was build on a dataset in another workspace).
So if not downloadable -> no pbix file, if no pbix file -> no Desktop functionality.
Try google rebind reports. Thats your solution using rest api calls
