    If your table is identical (same names for each colunm)

     

    then the best option is to go to the query editor

    connect to the new table in excel 

    rename your old SQL table to TABLE_OLD

    Rename yor new table to be exactly what the old one was 

    and then delete the old table.

    when you then click close and apply the new table will be treated as if it was the old and all your measures and visuals will swap to this table as the relationships are based on table name
