Re-pointing reports/dashboards at different data sources

[nithyas]

Ability to build reports/dashboards pointing to a data source (database in the Development / UAT machine) and then use the same reports/dashboards pointing to another data source (in the Production machine.

Very important.

All the work done for designing the pages, reports, dashboards, measures, etc using a test database in development is LOST and everything has to be redone to connect to another real data source ??????????????

Data source should be editable like SSRS data sources are, so they can be used in multi-environment lifecycles.

This is a basic fundamental requirement in any BI tool and I am flabbergasted that it is not possible to simply change a connection/data source at the report level on the server you release to...wow!

The same huge problem with SSRS Mobile Reports: when adding dataset, with connection to Test server - then there is no standard clear standard option to repoint report to another dataset (on another server, or f.ex. another location).

[alex_il_stein]

Facing the same challenges.

[fbcideas_migusr]

It's the whole point of using computers/automation....so we can reuse stuff we made!!

[christine_mikha]

Please do something about this. We should not be redeveloping everything when moving from PROD - UAT - DEV...

[ashleymartin]

Is this something that is available now in PowerBI?

[dennis_faust]

Interested in the progress with this issue? This is definitely a basic BI requirement.
