How do we replace data source directly from Power BI desktop?
Hi @Cotadwaree,
You can also change data source in Data Source Settings. See:

Hello, i want to have a fixed report and i want to REPLACE the data source.
I'm not sure if CHANGING and REPLACING the data source is the same function?
For Example, I'll built a fixed report template and i will need to replace the current data source with various client's data sournce?
Does that the option Change Data source solve this issue?
Thanks a lot buddy!!!
Will help a lot
Go to Edit Query - Select Your Query and in Right Panel (Steps)- Select Source

Hi @Cotadwaree,
When you open a Power BI template file, the user can also go to the Data Source Settings to click Change Data Source to connect to their own data source.
