Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by tracing the library's existing workbook and datasource manipulation APIs, then determine how a worksheet records its datasource and what programmatic replacement should cover. Done means the supported replacement behavior and its expected tests are clearly defined.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

(via beta feedback)

Replace data source -- we have QA and prod data sources and it would be good to be able to change the data source a worksheet uses programmatically
