Edit Power BI Online data source

Don't know if this is the right board to post this question on...apologies.

 

Is there any way to edit an existing BI Online data source that is currently connected to an Enterprise Gateway?

 

I'd like to be able to take a Power BI Online report that currently points to an on prem production SSAS tabular database and point it at a test database without having to create the report from scratch.

 

Thanks for reading my question :^)

Unfortunately not. 

You can delete the existing data source but editing option is still not available.

Please Vote and Support the below idea for making it availble in future releases.

I'm trying to do something similar and want to update a PowerBI embedded report datasource. For example my data source is Azure Blob Storage and calling API:


https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/collections/RPFabricDEV/workspaces/{0}/datasets/{1}/Default.GetBoundGat...


I get something like below:

{
  "@odata.context": "http://wabi-west-us-redirect.analysis.windows.net/v1.0/collections/{0}/workspaces/{1}/$metadata#gatewayDatasources",
  "value": [
    {
      "id": "{2}",
      "gatewayId": "{3}",
      "datasourceType": "Unknown",
      "connectionDetails": "{\"account\":\"{4}\",\"domain\":\"{5}\"}"
    }
  ]
}


Using powerbi-cli I would like to update the account, domain and access key. Moreover I would like to set a schedule. There seems to be no documentation on how to do the above… any pointers appreciated.

Thx
