    Hi @Shruti

    May I clarify whether you are referring to a dashboard created using Power Query? If so, you can try the following steps to update the data source: 

    1. Open the dashboard workbook. 
    2. Select Data > Get Data > Data Source Settings. 
    3. Under Data sources in current workbook, select the original spreadsheet source. 
    4. Click Change Source, then browse to and select the renamed file. 
    5. Select Data > Refresh All. 

    If this is not what you are referring to, I would appreciate it if you could share some additional details so I can better understand the situation and assist you further. 

    If you have any updates, please feel free to share them.
