Issue in Power Query

pbi.pngHi... 

I am new learner of power bi desktop. For the reference I downloaded one dashboard project. Now I want to see how data is modified and what operations was performed but it showing data source error. It shows the different computer's data source and I cannot see the query. As shown above.

Please suggest me how can I change the data source of my pc and overcome the issue

Hi @Hst307 ,

 

If it is just 1 file, you can go to 'advanced editor' and then change the path mentioned there to the corresponding path on your computer:

If all of your file locations need to be changed, it might be faster/easier to do a similar thing via transform data > data source settings:
