There will be many times where you need to replace a data connection with a newer one. Sometimes its because the old one was outdated or we simply lost the original file (yes this has happened to me a lot!).
If you want to join in on this tutorial, you can download the data set from my google drive:

Replacing connections is a very important skill not just for managing a simple Tableau dashboard, but also helps us during the design process. What do I mean by this? Most of the time when I'm building things or analyzing things I don't always have complete or the latest information. So instead, as a practice we sometimes create dummy data that reflects the anticipated structure of the file coming to us.
That way, we can begin designing before he have the true data. We can then simply replace the old connection with the new one and still preserve all the development.
In this video, I'll be showing you two things; first is how to replace entire data source connection followed by how to fix fields that have had label changes. It's so easy!
