Hi @Vaishnavi_M,

 

If you just need to change data source from dev to testing DB within the pbix file, then you should be able to go to Data Source Settings -> Change Source to change your data source using Power BI Desktop.

Or you can go to Query Editor -> Advanced Editor to change the query to get data from the new database using Power BI Desktop.
