How to replace Data Source for existing report?
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.
it's actually the same file but saved under difference place, how can i change/replace data source for current report?

Someone change the name in table that I import from a database. I tried the option that you mentioned but this only function from Browser. Do you know if it is possible to change the source inside a document - similar to function "Edit Links" from excel?
Thank you.
I found it's easy to go 'Edit Queries', then at your 'applied steps' double click 'Source' to browse and re-select the file.
We went into Edit Queries and clicked on Data Source settings and we were able to change the SSAS sever name.
Hi Matt,
I have one static Excel as my source file at the momement but it will need a monthly update soon. I have DAX and new measures/caculated columns in it already.
Can you please advise whether it is possible to only update the original worksheet with no impact on the modified part?
Thanks,
Jing
I don't really understand what you are asking. Are you saying the source data is in the same Excel file as a Power Pivot report? If so, you should separate these out into a source file and a report file. That is best practice
