To add a new field from a data source
Hi, there is a change of my data source with an extra column for new field. i tried to refresh my power BI but the new column doesn't show up. In fact, i received an error message when i tried to refresh.. Is there any way beside deleting the old data source and rebuild a new one? this will be a nightmare for me.

- Hi Anonymous,
Data sources are usually okay to refresh if Power Query finds no issues during the process. Could you share any details of the error you're getting or the changes that you used for the new column? That way we might be able to provide some more specific help for you.
Thanks,
Daniel- It definitely sounds like an issue with the transformation steps in the query, or possibly the cache. I suspect this thread is very similar to your situation and similar steps may resolve your problem:

If you're still having trouble after reviewing it might be better if you can provide a link to your report and I can have a look for you.
Good luck!
Daniel
