I changed the data sheet. I ultimately changed the name on the correct file, but somehow the database is looking at “ghost” data, How do I get the database to look at the new file?

How did you change the data sheet? This is a google sheet, I assume? Changing a file name won’t be enough. You need to change the data source within Glide.

It is a Google sheet. This is a project that due to covid, I can’t remember most if what I’m doing. How do i change a data source? Thank you!
