Solved: Re: Changing data source after publishing

Milkman · ‎07-15-2019

Good morning,

i'm trying to discover if there is the possibility to change data source after publishing report to PowerBi web.
I'm developing Power BI reports locally connecting to a localhost database (i cannot connect to the remote database due to security), after publishing the report i need to change the data source connection to the remote database but i cannot see where i can change this.

Do you have any hint?

Thank you

Hi @Milkman ,

We cannot change data source in power bi service. We can change it in power query as @Tahreem24 said and republish the report to service.
