Changing source for multiple Excel sheets at once

‎05-30-2018 07:18 AM

Hi,

 

I have an Excel file with around 20 sheets which I'm reading into pbi. Now I want to move that file from a local computer to a cloud storage so I need to change the source in pbi as well. The problem is that each sheet is its own query in the query editor and I would have to manually go through all 20+ sheets and change the source for each one. This is doable but kind of tedious so I'm wondering is there exists a smarter way do this?

Hi @tusmo

 

I'm not sure it will work but did you try to :

 

Go to file > Options and settings > Data Source Settings > Right click data source > Change data source ?
