Currently once a dataset is attached to PBI you can't then amend the location of the pbix file. This would be really helpful, especially now you've added sharepoint as a datasource we would like to change some of our datesource locations

RE: Change dataset location

Agree with comment below. Attempting to change a source file location should be a simple redirection if I file needs to be moved or new server installed etc. Having to "Start over" when this happens is a major let down.

RE: Change dataset location

I would love to see the ability to change the file location or name of the file used to be added. It is really annoying to have a file change or location need to be changed due to a restructure only to have to go through the re-addition of the same dataset as a new one and needing to recreate all reports and associated dashboard's. You can adjust the file location in the settings of the PowerBI file but it does not help when managing the dataset online :(
