Ease on Changing Dashboard or Report Connection from One Cube to Another?

Hello,

I'm creating a new cube that is just like an existing cube but with new columns and changes. The existing cube has a number of dashboards and reports built from it, how easy or hard is the process, if possible, to change the existing dashboards and reports to the new cube?

Thanks, JPQ

@jpquinn If you started your report build by using the Desktop, it's as easy as changing the connection string... If you built it all in the Service, than you need to re-create everything that is reliant on the other dataset.
