Hi @Anonymous 

 

I already konw your question.

If you want to change the data source, please try this:
The easiest way is that change through the Data source setting:

It is the only way of changing data sources through the Power BI report interface.

Open the Power BI desktop, and Click the File > Options and settings > Data source settings.

Choose Data sources in current file, and select your excel data source, and click change Source

Then re-public.

Or you can change the data source in power query, these links may help:
