Modify R code before refresh for whole dashboard

Good morning guys,

I am fairly new with Power BI so I apologise if the question is too simple 🙂

I connected PowerBI and RStudio to query from Postgres and modify the dataset, in order to upload smaller datasets, which I use for visualisations.

 

I have now 4 different datasets, all with the same Source Query ( i.e. R code). I have noticed that it would be better for me to add one column in my last 2 datasets, and I can do it with a line of code in R. I am now wondering, is there a way to refresh all 4 datasets at once, AFTER modifying the underlying code? 

When starting the project I did "Get Data" only once and then selected the 4 dataframes I needed, but after loading the DATA the firt time it seems that I can only modify them one by one!?

So far I managed to modify them through the query editor, but I need to do it  one dataset at the time.

 

Thanks

Power Query queries can reference each other.  Create one query with all the columns, then reference if needed.  Or use your "master"  query throughout.
