Changing the source can be done by editing the Power Query Source step.

Once you change it there you will see it updated on the DataSource tab on the server.

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!

I know about the Query editor. But can I not change the data source on the server just like you can for SSRS reports?

    Then how are we supposed to migrate from Dev to Production? ... are we expected to open the report file in Power BI Desktop and edit in the file ... it would be so much simpler if we could just do it on the web portal.
