Helper IIAdd a new column to the existing data set and refresh
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 had the same challenges adding 2 columns to the end of a worksheet. I mirrorred the verbiage in the advanced editor but still got 'column not found' errors. After some detective work i noticed that there is a 'column count' towards the top of the advanced editor. When i changed that from 17 to 19 (+2 columns) and added the correct verbaige {"NEW ACCOUNT NAME", type text} or whatever it was, BINGO. MUST CHANGE THE COLUMN COUNT IN ADVANCED EDITOR
