Hi,
My power bi currently is connected to a local DB.. If i want to switch it to live server (DB structure is the same, local db is backup from live server) does it possible?
Thank you

Hey @pityman ,
yes, that's possible.
Just change your local DB (localhost) to the production database (mydatabase or if it's on azure mydatabase .database.windows.net).
