Changing the data sources and server instances dynamically in power bi desktop

Hi Folks, 

 

We have around 8-10 base files and we have nearly 10 server instances and 10 different username and creds , we will have to change the creds and server instances for all the 10 files . We are currently doing it manually (from edit data source option)which is consuming a lot of time and manpower as we have to change the creds and data sources in 100 files. Is there a way to do this dynamically. 

 

It would be great if some one could post a dynamic solutions for this.

Hi @amitchandak , this is not a useful method. Do we have something other than parameters. Also in this method we can't change creds. (Username and Password). Thank you !
