Change type of data source

Hi,

 

 

The current data source of my dashboard is a CSV file on my local machine. I now have this data in Amazon Redshift, but Is it possible to change the data source to this? 

 

When i go to 'Data source settings' and then 'Change source', it doesn't show me an option to Redshift. Is there a way this can be done without re-creating the entire dashboard?

 

Thanks!

      Hi Anonymous,

       

      Thanks for your response!

       

      I tried this and it works. But initially, my data connectivity was via import and I now would like to use direct query.  I'm however unable to change this to 'direct query', is there a way to do this?

        afk,

        To use DirectQuery, you would need to re-connect to the Amazon data source and re-create the whole report.
