I have a dataset coming via our current SQL Server named "ABC". We are getting ready to upgrade to SQL Server 2017 and when we do the name will change to "DEF". The database name and table structure is not changing at all. Can anyone help me by telling me what I should expect? Will I have to redo all my PBI reports? What i'm afraid will happen is the widgets will lose the connections (because it's a different data source) and I'll literally have to rebuild everything...
For bonus points - I have maybe 100 Excel reports with SQL data behind them. Will the same thing happen there? Is there any other option so I don't have to rebuild them? there is one report in particular that took over a year to create... I REALLY don't want to have to recreate it...
Thanks in advance,
Tad
