Change dashboard's name but won't update old one on service

[NB3]

Hi everyone,

I'll try to make this simple, I have a dashboard which had a specific name (let's say "X") and shared with many people.

Last week I had to change this dashboards name to "Y". 

I changed the name from X to Y in the service and on the desktop file but now eveytime I publish it keeps creating a new dashboard called Y (although I already renamed the old one) and it's only shared with me.

I'd like the old one (renamed) to update so I don't need to reshare the dashboard with everyone.

Am I missing something here ?

Thanks !

I had the same problem and discovered I had leading whitespace in front of my new report name. 

So instead of 'Y' I had ' Y.' 

Removing the white space in the desktop file name (pbix) solved my problem.

hi, @NB3 

Based on my test, You just need to change the dataset (renamed) name too before republish.

Just follow this way:

1. changed the name from X to Y in the service and on the desktop file

2. change the name for the dataset from X to Y in the service too.

Now when you republish the report, it will work well.

Best Regards,
