Workspace name change causing my Power BI report to fail

I have changed my workspace name. 

Then onwards my Power BI report is failing with the following error message.

A connection could not be made to the data source with the Name of '{"protocol":"analysis-services","address":{"server":"powerbi://df-msit-scus-redirect.analysis.windows.net/v1.0/myorg/OrcasqlTelemetryInsights","database":"SemanticModel-for-PBI"},"authentication":null,"query":null}'.
Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.

 

Please help how to solve this issue. Thanks in advance.

By manually going to each affected report and changing the Power Query code.

 

Next time consider not renaming the workspace.

Thank you Ibendlin. I have deleted the datasource as I have faced some access issues. So, even after adding the data source back it still shows the same old error. 🙄 When I just renamed the workspace back to original name it started working. Now I will make sure to not to rename it again. 😃

In the workspace go to the settings page of the semantic model , open the "server settings"  section and copy the connection string.

Thank you Ibendlin. I can find that setting but my Power BI report still points to the older connection. How can I change it or correct it?
