Reports without datasets and vice versa

[MBK37]

Hi,

I'm trying to clean up my Power BI Service since alot of unused reports/dashboards are present. But the transfer of my position went quit quickly so I don't know if my predecessor 'renamed' any of the reports or datasets after publishing them. It now looks like I have reports without equally named datasets and vice versa. Furthermore I cannot find a way in the Service to locate the corresponding dataset of a report. On top of that I have no .pbix files for most of them, otherwise I could have checked in the Desktop version.

Is there a way to find the dataset linked to a report, and a way to find the reports linked to a dataset in the Service?

@MBK37 WHOOP! I just saw this referenced in another thread, so it looks like the documentation is out before the announcement of Service changes, but they just built "Find related Content" into the tool. See here, looks like it's just in time for your efforts 🙂

@MBK37 For imported datasets, you can click on Settings (the wheel) in the upper right and click on "Manage Personal Storage"

This gives you the relationships between objects deployed in the Service. The caveat here is that it appears to only pull back the datasets that are imported. It doesn't appear to show Direct Query or Live Connection datasources.

Hope that helps somewhat.

I think the page is geared towards seeing where your data consumption is, rather than a mapping tool, but it looks to be what you want... And I can definetely see the need to track everything.
