Change Data Source from Dataflow to Folder type

I have a data source in power BI currently connected to a dataflow , the Dataflow is conneted to a odbc connection to postgres.

I have not had any luck trying to change the dataflow connection to  a folder  connection  (CSV.) ..  So I am trying to change the connection at the desktop report level . The data source setting shows Power BI dataflows (legacy) and the change source button is grayed out.   is it possable to change my data source type to my new datasource type Folder with multiple CSV files at either place the data flow or power bi destop report.

Thanks

Hi @nrowey ,

 

Based on the documentation, it appears that the connection needs to be created via power query:Set up your Folder connection - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

 

Hope it helps!
