Hi everybody,
I have a Power BI dashboard, with Dim and Fact tables and a table of measures that all comes from SQL Database. I need to use the existing template with another SQL server and Database. The table names and some of the field names in the new SQL Database is different from the original source SQL Database.
Is there a way that I can dynamically change the name of tables and fields that I have used in the measures? Currently I have to go and manually chnge table and field names in every measure. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Afsaneh
Solved! Go to Solution.
Unfortunately, you can not change in one go.
You should consider changing it manually one by one.

@AfsanehM53 Can you not just rename the tables and field names to the old names when importing the data?
Thanks for the response.
No I need to use the same template for another region. This means they have different terminologies that should be used in the dashboard, e.g. my field is called Supplier but I should replace it with Vendor.
