Renaming Columns

Hi,

 

I have created a report using desktop Power BI, and have pulished it to Microsoft Apps to share it. I have since made adjustments in the desktop version including renaming columns. Now when I replace the published version on the app, the re-named columns do not appear and any visuals using the colunm break. 

 

I would expect the column with the new name to be uploaded to the app along with the any visual changes, but this does not seen to be happening. It appears that the visuals are being updated, but not the column name.

    So you republished it to the workspace, did you update the App? Go to the workspace and click Update App in the upper right corner.

      Hi Greg_Deckler , thanks for looking into this. 

       

      Yes, I am publishing it fom a power BI desktop report to a workspace on the windows app (part of office 365) as a report. 

      I have searched high and low for an 'Update App' button but can not see it. 

      I can however see a 'Publish App' button

        Oh, yes, when you said you had published it to Microsoft Apps, I assumed you had used Publish App. When you publish the App, that will be replaced with Update App. So, what do you mean by you published it to Microsoft Apps?
