Copy Measures to new data source?

Good morning, I use PowerBI to aggregate data on Twitter usage of my students from their class-based activity at our University. I am new to PowerBI, but with the help of someone last semester I put together a comprehensive list of data charts. What I want to do is use the same fields but switch the data source to a new Spreadsheet. Is it possible to copy measures/columns from one source to another easily?

Hi @kcalderw ,

 

The best way to do this is to go to the Query Editor and change your Source step, this way you can change the complete path and treatament of a file.

 

Be aware that if you are changing from one type of datasource to other some steps may need some changing but it's achievable..

 

On the query editor check the first step and click on the small icon next to the step name Source and you can change it.
