    Hi Anonymous,

     

    For this problem, you could try these workarounds:

     

    • Edit the report, change the table titles directly on service side.
    • Remove the original dataset and report stored on service, after modifying the table titles on desktop, re-publish it to service.

     

    With above two ways, the report will update at once on service as well as on public web.

    Hello all,

     

    I want to update the datasets used by already Web-published Power BI reports. I don't have the Power BI server, only the desktop application and my account on the PowerBI online development site

     

    Just to to check that I understand correctly - in order to refresh or update the datasets of my already published-to-Web PowerBI report I need to:

     

    1. Delete it from my account in the online development service

    2. Go back to my desktop application and re-publish the report.

    3. Back in my account of the online development service I need to then re-publish the report to the Web

     

    Is this correct?

     

    If this is the case then when I re-publish the report does it get a new URL or does it's old URL (of the version of the Web-published report I deleted, i.e. want to update the dataset of) stay the same?

     

    I ask this as I don't really want to have to send a new URL to a PowerBI report to my users just because I have updated the data in it.

    Be great to hear if I am on the right track with this, or, if I have missunderstood the process then please let me know how to update the data of already Web-published Power BI reports

     

    Thanks in advance
