    Anonymous , Bit tricky, But you can try , it may work.

     

    Create a new connection with oracle and add all table. Now open power query, right click on the table, open advance editor and take the top part of the script for each table (see if only changing connection details can help) , replace that on the top part of the old file. See if that can work.

     

    Keep a backup of file
