Switching data sources approach
Hello,
Recently ive been making a dashboard on *.csv files. Next week we're going to switch to Snowflake. The tables and it structure (column names etc) would be different, however I'd like to ask what is going to be "okayish" approach to change data source. I mean is it okay to delete all existing columns and just click new source and connect to snowflake and start rebuilding dashboard? or this will cause some troubles because I intend on deleted tables which existed in .*csv - other than just getting rid of charts, measures)
Thank you in advance for your help
Kind Regards
Hello,
I've just deleted previous data sources, brought new one and changed references in measures using tabular editor (you can change it in loop so for instance every DimCountry[Country] reference has been changed into NewDimCountry[Country] in one execution. Took some time, less than manually but happily resolved

just keep your .csv table in report as it is, create another table 2 whose source will be your snowflake make all the column in table 2 same as table 1 (ie .csv table ) once you are done with this go to advance aditor copy the query and paste it to the table 1 advance aditor, now you can remove the table 2.
and simply close and apply and everything is doneHi Pbiuserr ,
