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

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.
