Updating data set but not report
We have report that has been published to the service and subsequently modified within the service. In the meantime, we updated our data model in Desktop, adding new fields. Is it possible to Publish the data model element only to avoid losing the modification made in the report?
Hi. If the report is the one that comes automatically with the dataset, it will be replaced once published. If you want to keep the report modifications independant of the dataset, you need to create a new report connected as live connection to the Power Bi Semantic Model (dataset).
If the report is the one autocreated with the dataset together and you don't want to loose the modifications you have done at Service. You can download the report as pbix from service and modify the pbix data model. Then publish and replace it, that way you haven't lost anything.
I hope that make sense
P/D as good practice it's always recommended to modify with PowerBi Desktop. That way you can version control the source transformations and many more features for UXUI
