Update Multiple Datasources

I inherited a report that has 8 period tables.  Period1...Period8.  The source for these 8 tables are 8 Excel files, Perio1.xlsx...Period8.xlsx.

 

When I update a datasource for 1 table, all 8 datasources are being updated with the exact same value. 

 

How do I change all 8 table sources to 8 different Excel files that have moved out of a former employees profile?

 

I tried in the Data tab by  clicking a table and then clicking Edit Datasource.


I've also clicked the Transform button and edite the datasource there and get the same result.  I opened the .pix file... it's not text.

ok, I solved my own problem.

 

Go to Transform Data, select each table, click Advanced Editor and edit the path to each file. 

 

This method did not turn out to be a game of Whack-A-Mole
