It is possible to adjust the data source of a power BI report from any level higher than Power BI Desktop? Can I change the source from when a report is published or published to web? Is there any way to adjust what data source my report pulls from based on some parameters when the report is opened, either on app.powerbi or on publish to web?
Thanks

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @jgowda,
Based on my test, We cannot change data source of a report from Power BI service. Here we can use parameter to change data source.
Then we can get data using the Parameter that we created. In power query we can get different data of different data sources by changing the Current value.For more details, please check the online document.
Here is the M code for your reference.
let
Source = Sql.Databases(Parameter1),
Power_BI_Test = Source{[Name="databasename"]}[Data],
dbo_Financial_1 = databasename {[Schema="dbo",Item="Financial_1"]}[Data]
in
dbo_Financial_1
