Data Source Settings/Credentials

[Pricey79]

Hi everyone, I was hoping someone could help.

I have changed laptops and needed to reinstall Power Bi Desktop. One of my main dashboards has a hell of a lot of different data sources. Is there a quick way to copy my data source credentials over from my old laptop to my new laptop. Some of the older ones have been on there so long, I cant remember where they came from.

Thanks

Hi @Pricey79 ,

If you sign in your Power BI Account and then connect to your data source, I think you can find all your data source in Global Permissions in Data Source Setting.

Files>Options and setting>Data source settings

Data Source in Current File: 

It will show all the data sources used in preparing the current open Power BI Desktop project.

Global Permissions: 

It will show all the data sources which are used till date to prepare different Power BI reports.
