Change Redshift database in report

[martbov]

Hello everyone,

I've built a report in Power BI desktop with Amazon Redshift as its datasource. The report was built using a test database/cluster in Redshift and now that the report is complete, I would like to switch to the 'live' database/cluster. However, I could not find the option to configure that in Power BI desktop.

Could someone explain to me if it is possible to switch between Redshift datasources and if so, how?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Mart

@martbov,

There are two methods for you to change the data source.

1. Go to File->Options and Settings->Data Source settings, then find your data source and click change data source.


2. Right click your table, select "Edit query", then click Advanced Editor in the Query Editor of Power BI Desktop, change server and database in the source code in the Advanced Editor .

Regards,
Lydia

I also had this use case. And I discovered that the "Change Source..." button is not enabled, for my Redshift data source.

I just created this idea; please vote...

"Change Source..." for Redshift data sources

Thank you, Lydia. Your second method solves my problem.
In the datasource settings the "Change Source..." button is greyed out for me, but manually entering the correct data source in the Advanced Editor did work.
