In this tutorial by DataMinds Academy, you will learn how to change source file in Power BI step by step.
When working with Power BI, sometimes your Excel, CSV, or other data source file may be moved, renamed, or updated. Instead of rebuilding the entire report, you can simply update the source file path or connection inside Power BI.
In this video, I will show you two methods:
Using Power Query Applied Steps – edit the Source step and replace it with your new file path.
Using Data Source Settings – update or modify the source file location directly.
We will also cover some best practices like using parameters for file paths and keeping your data sources organized for easier updates.
By the end of this video, you’ll know exactly how to update your data source file in Power BI without losing your transformations, visuals, or reports.
