Sharepoint Data Source File Name Change

‎03-20-2019 10:32 AM

Hello,

I need to change the name of a file on Sharepoint which has multiple queries linked to my PBI Report.

Can anyone tell me the easiest way to achieve this as my previous attempts changing the file name through Query Editor > Applied Steps > Source has failed.

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You may need to change the file name in all queries that have a reference to the original SharePoint file.

 

In my test, I connect to an Excel file hosted on SharePoint online via "SharePoint Folder" connector.
