Dataflow: change data source (change dataflow with the same data) doesn't work

Hi, 

I would like to change the Dataflow source from A to B.

In my Power BI Services I have two identical dataflow (A and B).

In Power BI Desktop --> File --> Setting -- Data Source Setting --> Data flow

I can't click on the button "Change Data Source" because it is not visible. 

How can do it? it is a Dataflow limitation of Power BI? 

 

Thanks

Seems it's a limitation at the moment, you can change the source from A to B in the powerquery --> advance editor, can you try and let me know if it works.

 

For simplicity, just create new pbix and connect to the dataflow, you can check the data source link in the advance editor, and you can use this new link into your existing pbix advance editor.
