Change the Source Database connection using DAX

Hello Team

 

I am doing some testing using a Business Central Sandbox environment. Is there somehwere I can change the database source to be Production without using the UI? As in is there some DAX code I can see to confirm where the data source is coming from so I can quickly and easily swap or move the data source?

 

To be clear the database in an Online Service from Microsoft called Business Central.

 

Thank you

@Anonymous - Not yet but people usually use Power Query parameters for this purpose. I believe there was a feature announcement at MBAS that might fit the bill for what you want but I may be mistaken. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform-release-plan/2020wave1/business-intelligence/planned-features

Thanks Greg. So how can you tell what sql database your connected too?

 

 

You typically you would go into Power Query and either use the Advanced Editor or you use the gear icon in the Source step.

HI Greg

 

I must be missing something. Can you share what screen you would update the datasets. I dont seem to have this option.

 

Thank you for helping
