power bi samples

Hi , I am new to Power BI and have downloaded the Retail Dashboard sample to my workspace. Is there a way to swap the sample data that feeds this dashboard with our own data and tweak the widgets to match?

@benjos,

 

The sample BPIX file is connect to SQL Server database, so we cannot change the metadata in that PBIX file.

If you want to get the metadata in side that report, you could use Export data from Power BI visualizations, please refer to the link below to see the details.
