    I tried to re-pro the issue from my end.

    As i have seen it, we can't change the data source from Excel to web.

     

    work-around:-

    If the local excel and google spread sheet have same data, before save the file with different name for the back up.

    1. Power BI Desktop >> Open the PBIX file (EX:- Sample.PBIX) >> Home >> Edit Queries >> Edit Queries >> New Source >> Connector (Ex:- web) >> Load the data by selecting the file.

    2. Remove the Excel file table and Click on "Close and Apply".

    3. Home >> Refresh and check for the data in all the visuals.
