Measures update on Power BI Service

[reymalave]

Hi,

This probably one of the rookies questions around. I made a model with power bi desktop and upload it to the service so I could work on it from another computer. Now I have a nice report but it felt like some new measures are needed went back to the desktop created the new measures but could not find a way to upload these new measures to the model on the service. Is there a way upload these new measures or to work around this?

Thanks

Hi @reymalave ,

Just publish the pbix to service and replace the old dataset.

Hi @v-frfei-msft,

Sorry for my super late answer, I can do that but I loose my report on the service since its been replace. I am trying to keep working on the same report but adding new measures. 

To give a little context, last time I did it (publishing the updated file) I lost all my work on the service.

Thanks,

Reynaldo

Hi @reymalave ,

Hi @v-frfei-msft ,

Did my last reply help you to better understand my problem? I am still having problems with updating my measures on an already uploaded file. Here is the thing, I created a file using Power BI Desktop. I was not planning to build my report on my computer but I did create all the measures needed at the time and publish it to the service. I work on my report from the service and created different pages and a dashboard. I wanted to keep on working on this report (which is now entirely on the service) but needed some new measures to enrich it and make it more appealing so I want back into my desktop created these new measures I republish my file and it completly erase my previous work on the service. Is not a nice feeling seeing all those hours of work just dessapear. 

Can you please help me out or point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Reynaldo
