Power Pivot data source from same workbook

Hi, I need help changing the data source from a table coming from the same workbook - not an external source. Since there are no visible connections I haven’t been able to change it through the usual way for all others external data sources. I work with a large database and I’d like to take this specific table outside the database and make it an external source instead. Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

    To my knowledge in Power Pivot  it's not possible to change one type of data source on another type of data source. So, in this particular case linked table can't be changed on database source.

     

    That's only to recreate measures and PivotTables.
