    Agreed, as our datasets have grown we have lost track of how they were created. Was a spreadsheet uploaded, or is it managed through a PBIX file?!

    I can't believe this hasn't had more votes. I must have spent an hour trying to find information about the dataset source, only to find out there's no way of knowing, which to me is ridiculous.

    Just like Power BI Desktop, the online version should not allow to have Datasets with the same name
