@Anonymous In power bi desktop go to query editor, select your table and on the right hand side under Applied Steps click settings icon. You can also without going to query editor - go to File -> Options and settings -> Data source settings >Right click data sources and chnage source.

go into Edit Queries.  Find the table/query you want to change.  Go to the first step in the Query (always called Source) and change it there.

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.

Hi.

I am trying to change my source from local tsv to a url tsv. 

I see in editing source i can change the file but it seems I'm not able to change to a URL (as I am able in the initial get data window).

 

*not able to download too large for HD

*Recreating the query and subsequent table edits would be .. not ideal.

= really hoping to seamlessly point the existing steps + report to a URL source instead of current local file upload:)

 

Did you find a solution for your issue ? I'm trying to edit the source from a TEST environment Odata source to a PROD environment Odata.

the "change source" is grey for me.

Grey for me as well, I don't think this should be marked as "Solved".
