Hi team,

I imported an Excel file with a power pivot model as a dataset in power BI site and I created some reports on the dataset.

I have the need to modify the power pivot model adding some new objects (dimension and measure).   

How can I edit or modify or download the imported file throught the site?

In the detail menu I can see only explore, rename ect but I can't find "Edit" or "Download" 

Have I to modify the file locally and upload it again? What does it happen to the existing reports if I overwrite the dataset?

Thank you in advance,

Simona

Hi Simona,

You can't download the model at the moment, but you can upload the updated copy of the workbook. You'll be prompted to replace the model that was previously uploaded and assuming that your model changes have not broken any measure or column references, your existing reports should stay intact.

In the future, if you have questions that relate specifically to Power BI it's recommended that you post them on the dedicated Power BI community site: http://community.powerbi.com.
