that's correct, but it is not enough, because I have no access to the new datasource since it contains sensible data that I cannot access/read, while the dashboard was developed on test/fake data.

 

This is the error that I get when I connect the new datasource to the dashboard in Power BI Desktop:

 

Any other suggestions?

 

Thanks,

    unfortunately this is not possibile and not compliant with our Company structure, because people that have access to those file are from business, they have no technical skill and they don't have Power BI installed.

     

    I can't believe that in the Power BI architecture there is no way to develop a report on file with fake / test / anonymized data and then switch the connection to the real file in the production workspace.

     

    Any other suggestions?

     

    Thanks,
