Add a new column to the existing data set and refresh
- Anonymous9 years ago
ewuchatka It is most likely because you are inserting it into the middle... You can do one of two things.
Easier - put it at the end of the Excel doc, and refresh
Harder - keep it where it is. Go to Edit Queries -> highlight the query you are working with -> Advanced Editor and you will see the M code that is pulling the data. look at how the other columns are being added, and insert your new column in between the columns that are being pulled. Refresh in query editor, close & apply. And you should be good to go.

I've added few column in Advanced editor, but after that I get an error message: We expected newColumnNames to have the same number of items as columnNames.

You need to edit the number of columns on the first row of the advanced editor. Just adding the names does not change the number of columns. Check out my other post on this thread for a screenshot.
