PBI Desktop / Unable to Change PBI Data Source SSAS Server Name
Hi Herbert,
The issue is not related to a specific machine but rather generic and I hope that it get addressed and solved by the BI team in a coming release...
The following workaround works:
* Create a dummy new report on PBI desktop connected to the new server. Save the report as DUMMY REPORT
* Open DUMMY REPORT in PBI Desktop
* Go to menu Open, and open the previously designed dashboard that was connected to the older server - Obviousy you will get the error that cannot open the report, but here you will get the dialog that contains the [Edit] button that allows you to change the server/database name. Change the server name and save the report
* Repeat the above 2 steps with the other dashboards...
Now all dashboards open correctly connected to the new server :smileyhappy:
