How to update or replace a data source?

Hi PowerAutomater ,

Hope your doing well.

My sincere apologies here, above steps i have mentioned is to import new data and directly in Power BI Service create the report.

No, Power BI Service does not allow you to change or update the data source of a published report directly. The ability to modify a data source (e.g., switching to a different file or database) can only be done in Power BI Desktop.

Instead of exporting your Excel file and uploading it to Power BI, store the file in OneDrive for Business or SharePoint Online.

• Why? Power BI can automatically sync to the Excel file stored in OneDrive/SharePoint. When you update or replace the file in OneDrive, Power BI will automatically pick up the changes without requiring you to upload it manually.

Steps:

1. Save your Excel file to OneDrive for Business or SharePoint Online.
2. In Power BI Desktop, change the data source to the Excel file stored in OneDrive/SharePoint: Use the SharePoint Folder or Web connection option with the file URL.
3. Publish the report to Power BI Service.
4. Initiate a refresh in Power BI Service to update your report with the latest data.
5. Use an On-premises Data Gateway and data pipelines  If Excel file on a network drive, a local system automatically replace data
