Error with refresh
Hi All,
I have a couple of files imported where everytime a new updated file is generated it replaces the existing one. The new file(s) that replace the old ones always removes the previous month's data.
As a result i get the message below:
So in my visualisation i have a historical view of sales, orders and so on (sometimes previously 3 months back) and every new month i need it to replace it with the column that has replaced the old column.
How do i get my visualisation to display what the new raw file displays everytime i refresh. For example using the screenshot above 'forecast history_Jun 21' does not exist in the new file and it will show 'forecast history_Jul 21' instead as the new raw file will only display the forecast history 3 months back
Thank you !

Hi Anonymous ,
Power BI will not store data, unless you have a query source that will support incremental refresh.

You need to dynamically rename the columns in the file as they come in. This article will walk you through the steps. Renaming A Column In Power Query Based On Position — ehansalytics - just remember that whatever position the column is in, subtract 1 because Power Query starts at 0, not 1.
