Using the column that’s being renamed, but in Power BI model, I never renamed it. Power BI refresh will be successful, but some visualisations will fail to load:
option 1. The easy one : rename in Power BI model, the renamed-at-source field, to its original name. all visualisations and DAX calculations will become valid again.
However that is not a feasible solution as the visual needs to have the new column name.
The other option is to go over all invalid visualisations and DAX calculations, and edit them to use the new field name.
This method is also not the seamless way to go.
Any other suggestions?
