Mass change in data source & credentials
Hello everybody,
I'm using API to get a json in some of my data sources.
The URL of the source was changed from HTTP:// to HTTPS:// with no server identification.
I have multiple reports with this source and multiple tables in every report.
This means I have to change the Source in Power Query and edit the credentials again since it's a "new" source.
Is there any find and replace or anything to do it all at once instead of doing this 400+ times separately?
Thank you for any tips.

Hi , Anonymous
According to your description, you want to muti-update the url in the conection string.
If this , i think you need to create a parameter to manage the connection string.
For more information, you can refer to :
Deep Dive into Query Parameters and Power BI Templates | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BIEdit parameter settings in the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
And you can also try to use pipeline rules features to create a parameter rule, for more information, you can refer to :
Create deployment rules Power BI Application lifecycle management (ALM) - Power BI | Microsoft LearnAnd you can also try to use the rest api to try to update the parameter if on the Power Bi Service, for more information, you can refer to :
