Hi,
According to your description, it seems that you opened the pbix file on a different PC environment and the report is using the Direct query mode, do you have the access to the SQL Server data source in your PC environment?
And you said that you can’t use the newly added three columns, do you have access to use the original columns in the Power Query? I think you can go to have a check.
