Hi,
I am new to PowerBI. I have developed an application and it extracts data from DEV DB and loads dev CSV files from folders, which can only be accessed from Dev environment.
Now I want to move the app to production such that it should extract data from production DB and load CSV files from a production path.
I want to keep the file name the same in dev and production. Every time I want to promote the app to production, I would want the reload to automatically pick up DB source and CSV file in production. I could achieve this in other BI tools using simple environment text files.
I am wondering how to do this in PowerBI.
Thanks

Hi @AquarianRaj
First of all, thank you Smalfly for your positive reply and for the tutorial.
You can use parameterization to dynamically switch data sources and file paths.
Here are some related blogs I found for your reference:
