Change Data Source from Excel file to Oracle Database

[Nagarjunav]

Hi Friends

How would i change the data source from Excel file to Oracle Database?

I have some data in excel & i took it to the Power BI and created some report (Using some formulas, Graphs & Measures )

Now i want to import the data from Oracle and want to apply the same Template

I found one route i.e.

By dumping the data to excel and Changing the source Excel data

I Don't want this solution

I shall able to change the data source from excel to Oracle Database

Is this Possible in Power BI?

Thanks in Advance

Hey,

I might've misunderstoond, but why dont you just directly get your data from the Oracle database.
Just hold your report next to the new one and copy the steps you've applied.

Hi @BeemsC

Thanks for your reply

But i don't want to copy steps. Why because next time my source may change, like Oracle to Azure or Oracle to R Script Etc. Each time i shouldn't do it.

Please let me know if you have any other Solution

Thank you

@Nagarjunav,

You can perform the following main steps to achieve the above requirements.

1. Create a new query that points to your Oracle database in Power BI Desktop.
2. Copy the code of the new query in Advanced Editor.
3. Go to your existing query of Excel and replace the  source code in the Advanced Editor with copied code in Step 2.
