Updating A Report From a Different pbix File

[Cmcmahan]

So I have a situation where I've got a report embedded on a website.  I found out today that the report ID on the site is an old version of the file.  I don't have control over the website itself, just the power bi side.

Is there a way to take MyReport_NEW.pbix file and publish it in a way that overwrites MyReport_OLD in the Power BI service?  I want to use the report ID of MyReport_OLD, but without having to make the changes manually in the MyReport_OLD .pbix file.

Hi @Cmcmahan ,

You may open the MyReport_NEW.pbix, rename it with the MyReport_OLD, use "Publish" button in Power BI Desktop to replace the original MyReport_OLD of same workspace in Power BI Service. In this way, the report ID in embed Website won't change, and it will work as the content of new pbix file.
