Hi rodneyc8063_1 ,

 

Open Power Query and then select the table from left, where you need to update the DB details and then you would see something like below in the Applied Steps section in right side-

Then at your 'applied steps' double click 'Source' to browse and here you can update the new databse details.

Hi Anonymous 

 

This is good to know and thanks for the tip, but I was actually wondering if the source TABLE name changes - How can I go about updating the TABLE name in the .pbix file

 

Im guessing/hoping that if I can update the TABLE name, that the remainder of the report would work as expected?

 

All columns are the same, its just a TABLE renaming from the source
