Change the folder data source and error parameter

Hi guys. I had to change my project's data source, but changing the data source the Sample File parameter gets lost.

A Sample File is being used as I am importing excel spreadsheets into Power BI located in a specific folder.

 

1. Before change:

I guess you are using combine and load option and the query containing Parameter is getting created by that.

If Yes - chnage the path in source step of your original query as well

I fixed the error acessing Advanced Editor and changing the path to source folder.
