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.
Hi @Milkman ,
You can change it through Advanced Editor in Power Query. For more details please visit the below URL posted by @zzsuffa.
