How to change dataset(.pbix) of a dashboard?

[giramswa]

Step 1. I have created a power bi dataset (.pbix file with only data, no visualization in it). Published it.

Step 2. I then created new report (only visualization) using dataset created above (from Step 1). Published this report for users.

Step 3. Now for further development, I created copy of the dataset (which was created in Step 1) and renamed it as data_test. created more tables and added some columns to existing tables.

Step 4. I also created copy of the visualitaion report (which was created in Step 2) and renamed it as visual_test. I am planning to make some changes to visualizations.

The problem here is that 'visual_test' is still pointing to original dataset file (created in Step 1). How do I make the 'visual_test' file point to 'data_test' so I can test new changes to data and visualization, without impacting the users who are testing original report published in Step 2 above ?

Hi there!

Go to "Home" ribbon and there select "Data Source Settings" as shown in the image, there you can change the source of your .pbix file selecting another dataset.

Hope that helps!
