Update .CSV Files when amending the data -

Hi All

 

I've tried the simple Google search but I seem to get more complicated versions of what I assume to be a simple update of a file

 

In short, I've made some changes to a .CSV file which is the source of my report yet when I go to Edit Query -> Source Settings (cog) then remap the file again it doesn't show any of my changes

 

Is there a simple way of updating the file if I make changes

 

They're infrequent so I don't need anything autonymous just something manual is fine

 

Thanks


Dan_B

@mwegener I did indeed.. Yet the metric seems to remain the same which is why I thought there might be a more complicated solution

 

I haven't moved the files and no errors appear when I hit refresh or edit the query so I'm kind of at a loss

 

Any ideas what could be the root cause?

 

Thanks for reaching out
