Solved: Data source visible in template

RonLieuw · ‎06-07-2018

I am using the free version of PBI, configured a report and saved the file as a template (pbit).

When I open the template I can see the original source url "saascustomer1.net", see screenshot below .

Is there a way to blank out the original url so I don't expose the url used to create the template?

I think you are create wrong power bi template, normally it not contains connection string.

Please enter to query editor and use query parameter and invoke it as connector 's connection string, then save it as pbit.
