Recommended solution for column header changes

Hi,

 

if my column header name keeps changing every month in excel dump, how do i fix that automatically in powerBI?
for instance from Technology to Tech...etc
 
How do i fix this automatically without having my query to crash?
any recommended solutions?
  • Hi vjnvinod ,

     

    Without knowing the type of data you are refering but if you have a promote first row to headers (and your columns are always in the same order) I would delete that step, remove the first row and then make the names manually, so you would have column1, column2, and so on and not the actual names.
