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.
