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, ...

    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.

Hi rickymcmaster, were you able to fix your problem (swap the semantic model of a report on Power BI Service without downloading / Desktop) by using Git or something else?

I've got this semantic model that somehow got corrupted last week (it won't let me use/create public URLs anymore for any report pointing to it) regardless of its name or content (looks like the DatasetID got "flagged" somehow), and I'd like to edit my 450+ customer reports that point to it and replace the model DatasetID with that of a fresh model, but any Data Source Settings or any manual PBIX/ZIP/Connections file modification that I tried generates reports with the same name but a different ReportID after I publish it with Desktop or upload it on Power BI Service.

I'm interested to know what you found.

Regards, Olivier.
