différences between report and dataset ?

Hello,

I made reports in Power BI Desktop and I then published them.

What I don't understand is that sometimes I end up in the workspace, in Power BI Service, with only one line that is my report and sometimes there is another line with the same name but with the type "dataset".
What is the difference between the 2 ?
What triggers the fact that sometimes I have 1 line published (the report) and sometimes 2 (the report + the dataset) ?
What is the use, etc... ?
Can you give me additional information about that with maybe a link talking about this subject ?
Thanks,

When you work in Power BI Desktop in Import mode, if you publish the pbix, it will generate a Report and Dataset in the workspace.

If you work in Power BI Desktop in Direct Query/Live Connection mode, after publishing the pbix, it will only generate Report in the workspace.

Report is where you can see the visualizations. Those visualizations are driven by your Dataset (contains your data model). That means you can also create multiple Reports from 1 Dataset.

Hi, you can read more about the power bi components here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/end-user-basic-concepts

It describes many components. You can look for datasets and reports.
